I set up a new lemmy instance. I can log in and create communities locally.

But I do not see ANY other instances.

I have checked Federation Enabled

I look through my logs and there appear to be no errors.

I check and save, Federation debug mode but it never stays checked.

I am trying to find the disconnect. Why is my instance not fully federating and why can I not find any errors...

Does anyone have a next step for me, what to look into?

docker-compose logs -f lemmy

Is where I look for logs

Lemmy does not automatically discover communities from other peers, you have to search for them and have at least one user subscribe.

I apologize but I am not following.

On my instance I cannot search other instances.

But here on blahaj I can.

I tried adding instances but I cannot search those (that were added) either.

for clarity, you are searching for communities, right? search for "[email protected]"
