Use an Invite
If you want to connect to your friends across the net, you need to be followed by a Pub server.
First get an invite-code from a Pub operator you know, or setup your own pub.
If you're using Patchwork, you can use the UI to use the code. However, if you want to use Scuttlebot, you can use the following command:
sbot invite.accept {code}
Your Scuttlebot will now connect to, and sync with, the Pub. Other users can sync with the pub to receive your log.
