Hi! I’m new to lemmy. I think the join-lemmy instances list is a great resource, though I’ve noticed that the instance I recently set up does not appear in the list. Is listing automatic, and in that case what should I do to make sure it appears? And if it’s not automatic, who should we contact to request to be included in the list?
Thank you!
I think it is automatic. It starts crawling other instances starting from lemmy.ml, so it should appear soon, since your instance is listed under their lemmy.ml/instances. I don’t know the periodicity of crawls though.
Here’s the documentation https://join-lemmy.org/docs/en/administration/first_steps.html#inclusion-on-join-lemmyorg-instance-list
- Federate with at least one instance from the list
- Have a site description and icon
- Be patient and wait the site to be updated, there’s no fixed schedule for that
My instance showed up after a day or two. The installation instructions say:
- Federate with at least one instance from the list
- Have a site description and icon
- Be patient and wait the site to be updated, there’s no fixed schedule for that
For (1) I made sure I subscribed to a community in lemmy.ml from my instance.
the crawler seems to run somewhen after midnight cest – maybe 1-3am
I can confirm that my instance is in the list now - it seems that it was in fact just a matter of waiting a bit.
