I tried an install today and the setup and federation is amazing. seeing that first remote search result pop in was a thrill.
what amazing work has been done by the dev team! ansible scripts work like a charm, flip switch federation, and an inherited a+ security profile to boot.
I will probably remove this instance before the end of the year in favour of another more curated instance once I’ve kicked the tires a bit.
EDIT: This has been shutdown for the time being. I have another personal instance running on a debian server. Great first experience deploying lemmy on vps.
Is this federated with this Lemmy instance? If so, please remind me how to subscribe to communities.
It’s federated one direction from oklinks to lemmy. The automated concept would potentially flood other instances so not really good for bidirectional.
You can subscribe from there by searching https://lemmy.ml/c/<community> or search for a name like ufrafecy@lemmy.ml. You basically get a read only view. It’s in the docs :
To do this you have to enter a reference to a remote object, such as:
!main@lemmy.ml (Community)
@nutomic@lemmy.ml (User)
https://lemmy.ml/c/programming (Community)
https://lemmy.ml/u/nutomic (User)

Sweet! Let us know when you want to set up that curated one, or just continue using oklinks.xyz , and we’ll add you to our allowed instances list, and add it to join.lemmy.ml
