Apollo Town - A brand new Lemmy instance
apollo.town

G’day, I just got Lemmy going on my site https://apollo.town and it doesn’t appear to be federating. I ran through the Lemmy troubleshooting docs and I can return valid JSON from the site, but I can’t look up anything on lemmy.ml from my site - although I can look up my site from lemmy.ml.

Caddy is my reverse proxy with the world’s simplest config:

root@apollotown:~/lemmy# cat Caddyfile 
# apollo.town Lemmy instance
apollo.town {
	reverse_proxy :4040
}

    Ah HA! Whatever I add to lemmy.hjson is added as a federated instance.

      # the domain name of your instance (eg "lemmy.ml")
  hostname: "lemmy.ml"

    And now lemmy.ml is listed as my only linked instance.

        well that’s what I’m saying - it was set to “apollo.town” and I federated with myself. I set it back to lemmy.ml and blew the database, and now I’m federated only with lemmy.ml. Whatever I put there is federated.

            Ok, weird. I guess set it back to your own hostname and create a local community to play with and find from other instances.
