Requesting to federate

Lemmy Ninja Clan - Stealthily slice through B.S. with the precision of a ninja-to.

Not sure if this is the forums for this. Just requesting to Federate. It looks like you run a busy board so I understand if this is a big ask at the moment.

I thought the point was distribution not centralization?

I think it is done automatically when someone subscribes to a lemmy.ninja community? Pretty sure you don't have to request it, plus it's on the lemmy.world instance list already
- How do you subscribe to an outside community if it doesn't show up in the search? I have tried entering the /c/communityname@hostname.org into the URL bar but it seems to just 404.
  
  From what I saw, put the !community@instance into search, click search and wait. The search button will stop spinning first, then a few seconds later the community should pop up
  
  Search from your instance for !community-name@instance-name, click the result then subscribe.
  For example from your instance search for:
  !startrek@startrek.website Or
  https://startrek.website/c/startrek
It’s automatic. Just subscribe to a bunch of communities on lemmy.world and other “big” instances from your instance. Once you do that, Federation will happen.
Search from your instance for !community-name@instance-name, click the result then subscribe.
The search could take 5-10 seconds so be patient.
You don't need to request it, just copy-paste the link to a community on another instance, put it in your instance's search bar, and wait until you see the instance appear beneath the search results.
Then you can go into your communities list and subscribe. That's it!
I think it will federate automatically if someone on one side tries to subscribe to or post on a community on the other side.
We are officially federated. 🙌
