Just got my own instance up and running finally, but it doesn’t seem to be federating as expected.
I can search for and subscribe to communities, but unless I specifically search for the URL (e.g. [email protected]) nothing shows up. I’m also making this post from my instance as well (to see if anything happens…)
Is this something I just need to wait a few hours to happen or is something incorrect.
Thanks in advance
Edit: Oh, and when I do subscribe to a community, I can only see new posts. It doesn’t retrieve older posts
For micro/personal server runners, I built a tool to automatically discover and add communities to your local instance :)
Do you know how much data is put onto the local device when subscribing to all these communities? Ballpark is it in the MBs? GBs?
Trying to determine whether discovering things I don’t want is worth it
My personal instance of about:
communities | persons | posts | comments | post_likes | comment_likes -------------+---------+-------+----------+------------+--------------- 568 | 103616 | 72621 | 383006 | 1906668 | 2152368
takes up about 17GB of storage thus far!
