Lemmy instance not showing on list
Closed this issue · 3 comments
Hello! I stood up a Lemmy instance on June 25th. I’ve been checking for a few days and it hasn’t shown up here yet. Is there anything I need to do on the server for the crawler to discover it? Instance name is techy.news. Thank you!
What's your community's hostname / address?
It looks like it was discovered 05:02 - Sunday, July 2nd, 2023 (SS from my local dev version)
I'm just working on some new instance stats pages, I'll push an update later today.
How the discovery works: It uses a seed list of communities and scans the equivalent of the /instances
federation lists, and then creates jobs to scan each of those servers.
How long it takes to discover a new instance can vary depending on if you post content that's picked up by one of these servers.
