I set up a self-hosted instance yesterday, so far it runs fine. I can subscribe from there to communities hosted on other instances, I can comment from my instance and the comments show up on other instances.

However, I subscribed to https://lemmy.world/c/lemmyworldtest from my own instance to test if my posts will be propagated, and that seems not to work (yet?).

Is this a known problem? Would the upstream instance subscribe to my instance for this to work? Or is this a bug in my configuration?

    Ok… After changing some settings, I got this log:

    2023-06-13T15:16:56.808411Z ERROR HTTP request{http.method=GET http.scheme="http" http.host=lemmy.pathoris.de http.target=/api/v3/ws otel.kind="server" request_id=6603f30f-4523-4548-a82c-f38c22d1889f http.status_code=101 otel.status_code="OK"}: lemmy_server::api_routes_websocket: only_mods_can_post_in_community: only_mods_can_post_in_community
    

    That explains a lot, I think :-)

    Apparently my instance does try to push, as I expected, but the community is protected on lemmy.world. That’s a bit surprising still, since I thought it is a test group to test federation and such, but since that wasn’t specified anywhere, it’s fair enough that this could be a test-group by lemmy.world for lemmy.world :-)

      Btw: The settings I changed on my server were removing all servers from the “allowed” list. It seems I misunderstood the instructions during setup, I thought I had to add some servers quasi as a seed. But actually, by giving permission to certain servers, it is implied that I don’t want to allow any other.

    Sorry… I am not understanding fully, I think. So you want to see if posts on your self-hosted instance will propagate to other instances? In this case, only if someone on the other instance has searched for your community.

      The community is originally from lemmy.world, I subscribed on my own instance. In my example it was just “lemmyworldtest”, but a proper use-case would be to subscribe to https://lemmy.world/c/techsupport on my own instance and post an article to that community. Since the community has its home on lemmy.world, I would expect/need my post to be visible there in order to actually receive some support.

      Also, at the time I’m writing this, your comment to my post is not yet visible on my own instance although I’m subscribed there as well.
