Outbound posts and comments on my instance not working
Comments and posts I make from my instance aren't showing up on the outside.
I've checked lemmy.one and lemmy.world but I only see posts/comments made from those two instances. Other comments I've made on other people's posts aren't showing up either.
I can see several of your test posts from my instance, probably you searched for it before your posts, so those instances imported it without posts and since no one is subscribed to your community then no posts are sent to those instances.
I wonder if it has something to do with me recreating my instance. I didn't have it set up properly the first time so I blew away the initial vm and spun up another one. I am subscribed to my community on those other servers with accounts on those servers.
your server isn't going to send copies to other servers unless an account on that remote server subscribes. You said you created a new community, nobody is going to be subscribed.
