About Federation
What does this federation mean?
It means Lemmy is using a protocol (Activitypub) which makes it possible for all Lemmy servers to interact.
- You can search and view communities on remote servers from here
- You can create posts in remote communities
- You can respond to remote posts
- You will be notified (if you wish) of comments on your remote posts
- You can follow Lemmy users/communities on other platforms that also use Activitypub (like Mastodon, Calckey etc)
Please note that a server only starts indexing a server/community once it has been interacted with by a user of this server.

@lynneverson @stux I had the same problem trying to sign up for Lemmy.Social (edit: Lemmy.World) on blackout day. I never did get it to log in. I made a profile okay, but all I got was that spinning circle. Gave up there after a week, worked for me on Geddit.
@DavidMHarlan @stux yeah, could be a surge or spammer limiting thing...I may give it a try on desktop or after things settle down some
There are indeed some issues with returning error messages back to the front end in Lemmy. That should be fixed in the next update
For now I think indeed the captcha is wrong ;-) It's is also case-sensitive
