What other Fediverse instances have you been able to federate Lemmy with successfully? (lemm.ee)

I've got a Calckey server up and I'm testing integration with Lemmy and Mastodon. It seems like Mastodon's working well, and I've been able to follow communities, but I'm not sure if it actually displays posts (we're about to find out).

What other Fediverse instances have you used, and how has connecting with Lemmy or other federated instances worked on it for you?

If you run your own instance, have you had much luck with relays? Are there any you'd recommend?

Edit: So on my end it seems like Calckey will allow you to follow Lemmy communities, but it only displays posts if they're 'boosted' by the community. Which, I have no idea how that happens!

I built my own instance, and it federates with other ones just fine.

Self-Hosted Lemmy instance as well, your post is being seen.

I'm using public instances, and mine are both federated with kbin.

If I spun up a private instance, and I'd like to, I'll see if I can't federate with more services... but only text ones. No PeerTube or image-sharing for me.

Every post to a community is boosted, because as far as it’s concerned each user is only posting to their own feed, that’s how it ends up centralized. Replies might also show up as boosted.

It can work but is not ideal.

So far it seems kind of hit or miss whether stuff shows up, but some of it is!
