Some Lemmy instances don't federate correctly but most of them do. Be wary, it takes time - I thought it wasn't working for a bit.
The kbin matrix space is pretty helpful, if you have a matrix account.
Other considerations:
The MERCURE_JWT_SECRET .env needs to be 32 characters long (duh, but I wasn't thinking when I was setting passwords)
The .env file gives an example media subdomain as media.your.domain but it should actually be your.domain/media
Installing yarn might actually install something totally different. The docker instructions get around this using some custom repository in the instructions. We got around that a different way by installing the latest version of nodejs, npm, and installing yarn from npm. (We are using Ubuntu 22.04 so the experience might be different for you)
We are rapidly running out of space on our VPS and can't diagnose it. We know it's not the amount of media stored. The docker containers steadily increase in size until the instance hangs and we have to restart, but at this point restarting still consumes 80% of our 80GB of space so we have to diagnose this and fix it.
Regarding you last point, is it logs? I haven't tried to set up a personal instance yet but I have had trouble before with other services defaulting to debug mode for logging and generating reams and reams of useless space wasting logs.
I wouldn't even say it's kind of referencing Star Trek. The term "federation" was coined way before the creator of Star Trek was even born. Federations have existed for centuries before Star Trek was a thing.
I don't know how much propagation time is involved in synchronizing instances. Most of the time it seems pretty quick. I'm seeing the OP plus one reply on lemm.ee anyway.
pretty funny, this was supposed to be a very simple federation test here. I notice that kbin has many issues depending on who is hosting it. (It's seriously a mess).
yep... kbin on kbin instances seem to work (mostly) fine. Kbin with lemmy however seems to have quite a bit of issues.
Kbin is known to be more resource intensive I believe on a large scale than lemmy. (No sources here). Kbin is also written in PHP, but I have little qualms about that personally.
Not only is it federating from you to lemmy.world, it's federating over the airways around the world!
absolutely amazing
simply marvellous
Nope.
Just kidding, good job!
Thou need not speak so formally, friend
Ironically, "thou" was actually the informal pronoun vs. the more formal "you".
it is ironic, does when something gain less prominence, it is now less formal?
English changes so much tbh
but thou is
Verily
Thou speakest, thine federation worketh, victory is thine
Never skip leg day
I have legs????
no...
Hiya from lemmy.world
Hello from my kbin instance! 👋
how has it been, setting up a kbin instance btw? I've been trying to get mine fully working... Does lemmy federation work fully with you?

No. Post Not Visible. Try again.
Looks like it to me
assumedly. i can see it.
I'm seeing it in my tiny little corner of the fediverse, so I would say yes. Welcome!
Welcome to the Federation, and thanks for doing your part!
GG, I remeber insinuating that 'The Federation' Is pretty funny because it is kind of referencing Star Trek. Heh

If anything, it made you think of Star Trek.
You tell me, do you see this comment?

should've propagated by now
I'm on kbin.social and see 32 comments.
Ye
Hello fellow lemming!
With all respects, this is a kbin. Please address us as kbinians.
KBeans
kbinians GG
I am on kbin when did we start calling ourselves kbinians?
Lol I was just reading this thread and said it as a joke.
Yep
You are federating but lemmy.world is bad at federating-out right now. So it's not a great place to test this.
noticed that on my own instance... my own instance i'm working on is simply just borked with lemmy soo
Lemmy.world reporting in!
haven't seen that instance before, followed!
nice!
It would appear so.
Thy work is federated.
I bring you greetings from the kbin instance known as Fedia.IO
All Hail the mighty Jerry.
i shall hail jerry

Welcome! I'm on kbin.social and your post is trending. Keep it up and I'll consider sharing it on bestof lol.
cool
Thou is working, mine good friend
noice, this is now where my main account for the threadiverse is going to be I guess
Yes. I'm seeing it on readit.buzz.
nice!
Yes, kbin.social
yee
Thou server is federating quite stupendously. May thine uptime be high.
indeed the uptime be high
Hello Mr. FBI man, Sir!
Hi from lemm.ee
hi, another lemm.ee user
Whatchu talkin 'bout willis?
just had to search that one up
Hello from kbin.social!
Hi!
this post is from fedia.io
It's federating tho
pretty funny, this was supposed to be a very simple federation test here. I notice that kbin has many issues depending on who is hosting it. (It's seriously a mess).
the link in this was just filler to remind myself
6 minutes!

yep... fedia seems to be (somewhat) stable right now... moving my main account to fedia since my attempts are failing miserably.
I personally trust jerry as the admin here, so i'm happy to be here.
until kbin becomes much stabler, or that lemmy move away from github, and does a couple of other things.
My account stays here, and my own threadiverse servers stay a non-priority
I do have my own instances (main one being pleroma), and do have peertube, and also lemmy and kbin.
Pleroma is amazing
well, better than nothing!
10-4 good buddy.
