Even notifications are a mess for small instances like this that has been federating with the big ones for years. I do not plan to install the addons until the next stable and documented release. Perhaps this may be a time to move to an instance that already has what you are looking for. Sorry, but everything is all finicky here.
To begin I’d suggest r/SouthAfricanLeft, r/AfricanLanguages, r/Oromia, r/PanAfricanists. Maybe more depending on how those go.
I have checked the code and I think this should be doable. I’ll run through a test in 24hrs with one sub and (de)scale from there.
Apparently it’s not working, but there’s discussion of alternatives here.
