Maybe I’m missing a basic concept on Federation. I was assuming that the federation feature would allow a user on another instance (e.g., on Baraza.africa) to post on Lemmy.ml.

Here are two posts that Baraza.Africa shows as being posted to c/bitcoin: https://baraza.africa/c/bitcoin@lemmy.ml

However, on !bitcoin, those posts do not show. https://lemmy.ml/c/bitcoin/data_type/Post/sort/New/page/1

Is that correct, expected behavior?

I am seeing the same. It seems that Mastodon cannot follow a Lemmy commmunity if a user on that Lemmy instance has the same name as the community.

I created issue #1922 for lemmy on Github for this.

Lemmy’s day to shine (as Reddit is / was down), and new visitors are met with .

It was user error on my end. See my comment reply to u/nutomic

Ah … I see what I was doing wrong.

!fediversefutures@lemmy.ml works. Searching fediversefutures@lemmy.ml (without the “!” in front) instead shows “No results.”.

Thanks for the tip!

I can’t see !fediversefutures@lemmy.ml as a community from another Lemmy instance that I have an account on. Is federating this community planned?

For normies, … works just like chrome or firefox, without having to install any extensions / plugins, … there are no ads when watching the youtubes.

No ads on Youtube (i.e., at least, without requiring an adblocker).
