Federation
To test if federation works, search for a handle like @girish@pixelfed.social
or @social@pixelfed.cloudron.io
. You should then
be able to follow that handle. Note that you can only see posts that are made after you followed
the handle. Existing posts will not appear in you stream.
If following doesn't work:
- Login as an admin user on your Pixelfed instance
- Check
https://pixelfed.domain.com/horizon/failed
for job failures
Customizations
You can find the configuration file (env.production) under /app/data
. Don`t forget to restart the app
after making any changes to this file.
