Hey everyone, I set up a new instance yesterday and everything seems to be working except for known issues with v18.0 (postfix/email not working, image upload issues over 1mb).

However the one issue I cannot diagnose is why I can only see posts from subscribed communities when browsing “all”. Federation seems to be working fine otherwise, I’m just not seeing any content unless I am explicitly subscribed to a given community.

Is this just a federation delay for a new instance getting caught up, or is it possible I’m missing a setting somewhere? Or maybe just an issue with v18.0?

Thanks!

    these two statements are contradictory in my interpretation ;)

    How do you know it is working fine?

    I’m just not seeing any content unless I am explicitly subscribed to a given community.

    If indeed it is a brand-new instance, Lemmy starts out entirely empty and does not get any messages and comments from other servers until you join communities from your instance. It has been that with in 0.17 and continues to be that way in 0.18.1
