Just got my own instance up and running finally, but it doesn’t seem to be federating as expected.

I can search for and subscribe to communities, but unless I specifically search for the URL (e.g. selfhost@lemmy.ml) nothing shows up. I’m also making this post from my instance as well (to see if anything happens…)

Is this something I just need to wait a few hours to happen or is something incorrect.

Thanks in advance

Edit: Oh, and when I do subscribe to a community, I can only see new posts. It doesn’t retrieve older posts

Do you know how much data is put onto the local device when subscribing to all these communities? Ballpark is it in the MBs? GBs?

Trying to determine whether discovering things I don’t want is worth it

My personal instance of about:

 communities | persons | posts | comments | post_likes | comment_likes
-------------+---------+-------+----------+------------+---------------
         568 |  103616 | 72621 |   383006 |    1906668 |       2152368

takes up about 17GB of storage thus far!
