I’ve set up a new community (!giveaways@piefed.ca) but I’m seeing almost no activity - I know this is normal to a degree, but to receive only one reply on three posts offering free stuff feels weird. I also saw another user complaining about federation from piefed.ca, and when trying to share the community with Lemmy Federate as recommended on the sidebar, I just got an error. Have I done something wrong, is it an instance issue, or is it just coincidence and regular low traffic?
Also, I’d love to get other feedback if anyone has time.
I can see it normally from Piefed.zip.
I see that you promoted it on !newcommunities@lemmy.world recently, so it should be fine.
Lemmy-federate had issues recently, maybe try again now?
Unfortunately no luck. It looks like Lemmy-federate doesn’t play well with piefed.ca, since all other communities listed there just say, “waiting to be processed.”
