Hey there,

I am having some trouble importing library stuff or federating with Silverbullet. I followed the instructions for both and tried both separately, yet either found 0 templates, or I found some templates, yet nothing got imported. I think once I was able to _federate_, but then things like `/code` did nothing (well, it deleted “/code” but no code block was created).

Also I found out that the Silverbullet instance has to be in online mode so that I can at least find the library (e.g. `!silverbullet.md/Library/Core/`).

Unfortunately the logs on the server have no error messages, yet the browser console does.

I entered `!silverbullet.md/Library/Core/` into the `Library: Import` command box and got this in my browser console:

```auto
Fetching listing from federated !silverbullet.md/Library/Core/ federation.plug.js:1:8565
Failed to process https://silverbullet.md/index.json TypeError: NetworkError when attempting to fetch resource. federation.plug.js:1:9112

```

And the box told me _“You are about to import 31 templates, want to do this?”_. When I press _Ok_, I additionally get this in the browser console:

```auto

Can somebody help me back trace, if this is an issue on my end? Is there anything else I can try? Besides this importing thing, I was able to use Silverbullet from different devices already quite well, though!

Please tell me, if you need more information and thanks for any kind of help! (=

Can you navigate to any of the pages, lets say ‘Quick Note’ using the page picker? Did you try a `System: Reload` command to see if the pages are there and just need to be loaded? I guess I am just wondering if the import worked and you just need to do a “Reload”.

Hey, thanks for your reply. No, `System: Reload` did not work. Also I was not even able to see any new files in the space / folders. Not in Silverbullet and also not in the Terminal when navigating there “by hand”.
