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

    Lemmy does not automatically discover communities from other peers, you have to search for them and have at least one user subscribe.

      I apologize but I am not following.

      On my instance I cannot search other instances.

      But here on blahaj I can.

      I tried adding instances but I cannot search those (that were added) either.

            It can take 10 seconds, and also fail, so refresh the page.

            If it doesn’t work, then likely your nginx config is blocking incoming federation activity. There are some closed issues on Github/lemmy project.
