What does it mean “fetching communities on my home instance”?

[–] balderdash9@lemmy.world 16 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Since no one answered: I think the users on the instance (copy of Lemmy) need to federate (connect) with other instances in order for the first instance to be federated (semi-permanently in communication) with those other instances.

I thought it had to do with communities

[–] Erika2rsis@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 2 years ago

Yeah. The way it works with Lemmy is that communities are federated one-by-one with an instance, rather than whole instances federating with other instances.
