Not sure exactly sure how it all works. I’ve never needed to open ports for qbittorrent for downloading or seeding, I imagine it’s the same principal. I 100% don’t have any ports open and can see people actively downloading my music in slskd, confirmed even more by the thank you messages I receive for sharing.

Not sure why people are saying port forwarding is required. I have no ports forwarded to slskd and people are downloading from me just fine.

Does country matter? I always go for the US ones bc I haven’t been sure.

I am very interested, especially if you can tie in Anna’s Archive. I’ve been looking for something like this.

To add more info. I have open federation. No allowed or blocked instances. The curl requests on the troubleshooting page all return fine obviously. And federation is definitely working since I am federating with lemdroid. Every other community in any instance I’ve tried stays on “subscribe pending”. I get no comments from them and no new posts unless I purge the community and subscribe again.

I’ve tried lemm.ee lemmy.world lemmy.ml sopuli.xyz.

Allowed languages on my instance are all of them, but my profile is set to undetermined and English.
