Hello! A new self-hoster of lemmy instance. I’ve confirmed fedi is working and able to return json result for my server.

However, I am only able to find users and/or communities if I manually search for them.

Is there some sort of propagation or sync that needs to occur in order for searched queries to correctly populate data from the fediverse? Cheers

      Glad it worked. It looks like its for getting the big stuff while communityboost is designed to help find the small.

        Seems the only caveat to doing this is that now my instance is growing about ~2GB per day lmao

        Might need to find a way to prune the storage or else this won’t be financially maintainable hah
