Hrm, that is odd, particularly bc it says that there is 1 local subscriber. I am used to communities (or magazines) not federating due to having no subscriptions - that much I understand, but something else seems to be preventing the second community from federating properly with Discuss.Online. And likewise with PieFed.social as well.

I wonder if some aspect of the magazine are problematic for Lemmy and PieFed to handle, perhaps the post flairs?

Although mostly what I meant about federation was between Beehaw that had chosen to defederate from Lemmy.world, where this community we are in now is located. But… that defederation is not implemented in reverse, so I guess it’s fine.

And now we’ve brought in Mbin and PieFed to the mix as well. Most communication among softwares is working just fine, it’s just the human element where it tends to break down:-).
