This was the key that led to to the fix. Thank you!

Its federating to lemmy.ca now. : https://lemmy.ca/c/wow@lemmy.ml

I tried search for https://lemmy.ca/c/wow@lemmy.ml for giggles, and that also had the exact timeout error.

I have no idea what that means, either. I checked all the admin sections, and nothing pending anywhere on my end.

That’s a great idea. I will try some other communities.

Yes, I have a few comments in the world of warcraft community on lemmy.ml. When I search for that using the shortcode: !wow@lemmy.ml , I get an immediate response with no results.

Server side, there is a timeout error in the log, but that is timing out in less than a second.

I wonder if instances need to be allowed to interact with lemmy.ml?

It’s possible I have something misconfigured… but what I don’t know!

Thank you for this. I will look through it now to see what I can learn.

!social@links.dartboard.social

Searched for that 👆 and checked the logs… timeout issue…

Thanks! I’ve been searching for known communities I have posts in, but not getting any hits. Using the full shorthand, like: !wow@lemmy.ml there are no results.

Thank you for helping me try to figure this out! I’ve tried full and shortcode but don’t get any results.

I’ve searched for communities here on lemmy.ml I know exist via shortcode but not getting any results.

Please let me know if it isn’t working. My block & allow lists are empty.

I spent the last few hours trying to get mail working on my instance. Eventually I set up postfix on my linux host and had the lemmy docker container use that. Happy to say it is working.

Does the gmail SMTP server have a limit on how many emails can be sent per day?

The three parallel horizontal lines in the top right next to the bell icon.

I haven’t heard anything either. They are probably slammed. 🤷🏻‍♂️

You can still subscribe to and post to their communities from here. You don’t actually need a user on beehaw.org

Open the hamburger menu, then click the search icon and put !gaming@beehaw.org in the search box and click search. You’ll then be able to look at that community from lemmy.ml, and in the sidebar you can subscribe. You can also up and downvote, comment, etc.

Replace gaming with whatever community you are trying to join. Also beehaw.org is just an example. You can “join” any instance that isn’t currently blocked by lemmy.ml AFAIK.

Well, my understanding is your user exists on whatever instance you signed up on. You could technically create users on every single instance, but that is not necessary. You only need one user to exist somewhere, and then you can subscribe to, and post to communities on other instances.

For example: from lemmy.ml, if you search for !gaming@beehaw.org you can then open the sidebar and subscribe to, and post to, the gaming community on beehaw.org with your lemmy.ml user.

!gaming@beehaw.org is not the same community as !gaming@lemmy.ml

Same here! I was starting to think my application was rejected. So I signed up here on lemmy.ml and was approved fairly quickly.

First post for me!

Sorry, I applied and got approved here. Still waiting to hear back from beehaw…

I’m really digging this UI compared to Reddit, but I am 99.9% a mobile user via the native Reddit app (don’t @ me!)

I am very tempted to setup my own instance. Wondering what resource usage looks like for an instance.
