got it got it. I saw this federation test from the offical git, https://github.com/.... but seems it's a local federation validation... I'll do more search for that and may set up with my own nginx, thanks for the reply!

thanks for reply! The default port of lemmy instance is 8536, so I just leave it there. also my 80/443 port have been taken by another app. may i ask where can i get the federation information for this? ( also may I ask can I use other ports for making HTTPS?

thanks~ these are the instructions I followed to. The setup process is quite fast, haha. I'm just not sure why I couldn't join the federation... Still thanks for the reply! I'll go back and take a closer look at the documentation.

yeah, is it because the linux community started to accept Rust? I have never experienced on Rust, but definitely it's time for me to use it.

thanks eveyone for the help! I think I'm able to access other commnities now! the search engine was a little bit slow! although i'm using http. but I'm not sure whether others can subscribe my community.

seems i can directly reach out to other commnities with http. just dont know whether i'm in the federation now....

thx Kopper! thanks for the advice, it may resolve the issue for ports confliction. but I'm still wondering why my http one with port 8536 cannot get into the federation
