I set up a new lemmy instance. I can log in and create communities locally.

But I do not see ANY other instances.

I have checked Federation Enabled

I look through my logs and there appear to be no errors.

I check and save, Federation debug mode but it never stays checked.

I am trying to find the disconnect. Why is my instance not fully federating and why can I not find any errors…

Does anyone have a next step for me, what to look into?

docker-compose logs -f lemmy

Is where I look for logs

      I want to try this, do I need to change the lemmy domain to my own instance url? (if this is a double comment, I tried it from my own instance, but can’t see it on my alt. If someone can see this 2 times, I’m sorry.)

      Thanks, I am reading through the code : D

      I think my disconnect is I don’t understand how the instances connect so this is a HUGE help sends hugs

          I couldn’t get it running but I was able to sub to a cat place!!!

          I still want to get your thingy to work. I KNOW I am doing something wrong

          docker run --name lemmy-subscriber-bot --restart always -dt --env 'LEMMY_USERNAME=lemmy_bot' --env 'LEMMY_PASSWORD=redacted' --env 'LEMMY_DOMAIN=nerdly.dev' lflare/lemmy-subscriber-bot .

          Returns

          docker: Error response from daemon: failed to create shim task: OCI runtime create failed: runc create failed: unable to start container process: exec: ".": executable file not found in $PATH: unknown.

              I will try it again but I just wanted to say thanks again. With your code I created my own dumb python script that is working. I want to create a great aggregator and you are sending me in the right direction!

              I think I will keep working on this and share with you what I did (if you will find it helpful) Or create a pull req if I have the time for your code as well.

              This is REALLY what Lemmy needs and is severely missing!

              You rock! Meow!

      Would you be able to give a brief overview of what your tool does? I feel like it’s perfect for my situation, but am new enough to all this that I’m not exactly sure what the tool does.

        It is just a simple helper bot to automatically add communities to a personal instance above a certain level of popularity. This greatly alleviates the trouble of having to go to another instance to look for the communities you want to join, and having to copy that ID back to your own personal instance.
