It's seems right that we should have a local community to help us all with PieFed

How to federate a new community? (piefed.social)

I created a new community on PieFed ( [email protected] ) and tried using https://lemmy-federate.com/ to get federated across other instances, but get an "instance is not registered" error.

Apparently, there are... issues?

So wondering about other ways to get federated.

  1. Can I do it myself, at least for the one other instance where I have an account (lemmy.ca)?
    To me, at the moment it seems a bit 'chicken and egg'. I can't see it on lemmy.ca, so I can't subscribe to it from lemmy.ca. And lemmy.ca won't federate it until I subscribe to it. I must have it wrong.

  2. Promo communities: I know about those, but I don't want to use them just yet. This is a "soft launch" until I get more familiar with having a community and get some more content into it.

  3. Other ways?

Thanks.

Thanks. I've managed to subscribe to it with my lemmy.ca account.
