Hello all, i’m trying to selfhost lemmy on an ARM64 with docker. I thought I could have reached my instance from the fediverse, but to be honest i tried to seek it from i.e. mastodon (and even other lemmy instances) but it doesn’t simply find anything. On the other hand, from my istance I can find others (mastodon & lemmy). According to the documentation, there is not particular configuration for ports (I’m running it behind a cloudflare argo tunnel). Can anyone advice me where to find documentation that explains how to federate properly?

    Thanks Matt, apparently I was able at least to federate with lemmy.world since I got your answer… now I “just” have to figure out why I cannot find my user from mastodon (and why if I DM from lemmy my mastodon’s user, I get nothing) :)

      You’re showing up on my personal instance as well, so I’d say you’re all good on the Lemmy syncing.

      Not sure why you’re not syncing on Mastodon, it might just be a time thing? Maybe check back in a day or so?

        @Marsupial@quokk.au that’s awesome; I mean, I don’t rellay need it to be perfect at once. I was just wondering if I needed to open some “strange ports” (for example, with matrix I need to open 2 ports at once to let the federation work). But as long as I’m reachable from others lemmy istances and vice versa, it’s all ok. Thanks for your feedback guys :)
