Tried to search around it theres either stuff too vague or I wasn't able to find it. Simply looking to host my own instance for myself and my friends to join and communicate with other instances.

Since Battle stations (like many other communities) are going read-only as they should, I felt like posting the battle station here instead. Really digging the technology behind Lemmy and the decentralized self-hostable nature of it all.

Try it, when I search [!functionalprint@kbin.social](/c/functionalprint@kbin.social) on the search bar, there are no results, but the community of https://kbin.social/m/functionalprint is very clearly there, and are both a part of the fediverse. What's going on?
