Not sure if it’s just early instance issues, but posts from other instances don’t seem to be loading comments. Number of comments for active communities seem very low.

    Grateful for forbearance of 2 n00b questions

    1 - I’m trying to access crafts/handmade [sub-lemmies] on lemm.ee - I end up just getting errors. Is there a recommended way to request that a server be considered for federation (I suspect that’s the reason I can’t load those posts in search results)

    2 - if I wanted to organize a sub on a topic I have modded on other platforms, such as “fiber processing” or “handspinning” or “dyeing” … topics that currently have no equivalent on any lemmy servers we’re federated with… what’s the best way to a) find out what setup/admin tasks are recommended/required b) after reading, then where/how to submit a request to start that sub?

    Thanks for your help and time!

      1. Last I knew about lemme.ee is that it was shutting down. Heading out to lemm.ee itself, it redirects to the join Lemmy page, so I believe it’s no longer an active instance.

      2. I haven’t tried it myself, but in the main menu for Lemmy.4d2.org , “Create Community” (community being the Lemmy equivalent of a subreddit) . I’m not sure if it’s locked down at all on the admin side, but if something requires approval and I can’t provide it, then I’m sure @sarah@lemmy.4d2.org can also assist and get things squared away
