Fans of SDF
For any such questions, just go go the /instances page of whatever instance you want to check federation for.
The lemmy.sdf.org/instances page shows lemmy.ml under "Linked instances", so whatever you're experiencing seems to either be a bug or no one has subscribed/searched for these posts/communities, so it hasn't been loaded yet. But since I assume you did that, it's probably some bug.
The link to the /instances page for whatever instance you are browsing from can be found at the bottom of the page, second in the list of links; 'Modlog' 'Instances' 'Docs' .....
I am subscribed to multiple communities from Lemmy.ml without issue.
You won't see them if lemmy.sdf.org started federating with lemmy.ml after you made those comments.
If you'd like to specifically import your comments, click the permalink icon on each comment you want from lemmy.ml's instance, then copy and paste said link into lemmy.sdf.org's search bar to import that comment.
For further reading, check out Lemmy's official documentation on importing comments.
I was just reading something on there, so we do federate.
I have a couple of lemmy.ml communities that I am trying to subscribe to from another instance and it never moves away from subscribe pending. So I wonder if that is similar to what you are seeing? Or are you newer posts showing up, just not the older ones like @derin@lemmy.beru.co mentioned?
I suspect (without proof, just a hunch) that it's load and timeouts. I've had to subscribe, wait a few seconds, reload, unsub, reload, subscribe, lather-rinse-repeat a few times to get subscriptions to lemmy.ml work from lemmy.sdf.org.
That worked for me too. I was beginning to wonder why they were pending more than a day.
lemmy.ml just upgraded to Lemmy 0.18-rc. Other instances have reported much better federation so hopefully things improve soon with the new release.
How do you move accounts?
