Polyamory & Open Relationships
Polyamory (from Ancient Greek πολύς (polús) 'many', and Latin amor 'love') is the practice of, or desire for, romantic relationships with more than one partner at the same time, with the informed consent of all partners involved.[1][2] Some people who identify as polyamorous believe in consensual non-monogamy with a conscious management of jealousy and reject the view that sexual and relational exclusivity (monogamy) are prerequisite for deep, committed, long-term, loving relationships.[3] Others prefer to restrict their sexual activity to only members of the group, a closed polyamorous relationship that is usually referred to as polyfidelity.[4][5]

Hunh, well what shall I do about that? On testing I se that if I search !polyamory from another instance, which apparently has not subbed(?) the https://kbin.run/m/Polyamory/ community, the search yields null. If I search polyamory from that same instance, i.e. lemmy.ml, then I get a list of communities, including https://kbin.run/m/Polyamory/. I'm puzzled, and clearly uninformed about how to resolve this issue. My apologies in advance, as I've apparently 'jumped into the deep end' by starting this community, but haven't the skills, nor even the knowledge of where to find the skills to resolve this issue. Halp, ples!
It's not anything you did wrong, just the way federation works on lemmy.
So does that mean, eventually it will federate? That someone on a given instance just needs to sub this community, first to make that link of 'federation', and then it will proceed? If so pretty nifty, really.
Only new items will federate. This prevents instances from getting swamped with the entire history of a new muni every time. Not perfect, but it works well enough.
Understood. Hence the option of viewing a community at it's home instance.
