I just added a link to it. I plan on cleaning up the post in the next day or so, and adding a lot more useful things to it (as- I myself, am learning about this platform as I go too)

Edit- sorry, got the context wrong. I was thinking of my introduction to fediverse guide-

But- still makes a great link to include there.

I‘ve read that lemmy servers always use UTC and the UIs will map them to thw actual date

So- I have been messing with testing federation between two instances I own.

On the instance sending the subscription, no errors appear.

On the instance hosting the community, I only see a few things of interest which stands out in the logs-

WARN Error encountered while processing the incoming HTTP request: lemmy_server::root_span_builder: Header is expired

If- you have any ideas on either of those two errors, I am all ears!

I have had it cranked up to 256 for a while now.

Didn’t make much of a difference.

I can dig up some logs later.
