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?

    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.
