[SOLVED] I set up the Lemmy instance hobbit.world, but cannot see other instances.
Everything works great there locally, but I can't subscribe to communities on other instances and can't see my instance from lemmy.world.
I see no setting for this in the console other than "Federation enabled" which is enabled, and allowed and blocked instances. I added lemmy.world to allowed.
For example:
(If it matters, I have new user accounts disabled until I figure things out.)

I just wanted to say I think it's a really cool concept for a server.
When you’re trying to find a community, in the search type in the whole URL. So for your example you should be able to make the instance find the community by typing in https://hobbit.world/c/hobbit_art in search all.
Like so:
Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using an URL instead of its name, which doesn't work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: ![email protected]
Actually, clicking those links actually works! Hooray!
I was under the impression that you were supposed to be able to search for "![email protected]" in the community search bar and find things there. Now that I know it works, I've found that simply modifying the community url also works. So going to: https://lemmy.world/c/[email protected] actually jumps me right to it.
So, looks like it was already working. Thanks!
