Online files
Cemu requires the use of several files obtained via dumping from real hardware. You may use those files if you have a physical Wii U, they will work just fine when connecting to Pretendo. If you don't have a real Wii U navigate to your account page and select Download account files

Setup Cemu for online
After obtaining the files needed for online play refer to the official Cemu Online Play guide
Connecting to Pretendo
Once you have Cemu setup for online play navigate to Options > General settings > Account
. You should now see a section titled Network Service
. Select your PNID from the Active account
menu and select the Pretendo
Network Service option. Cemu should now be connected to Pretendo's servers

Miiverse
Cemu has limited to no Miiverse support as of now. Currently no Miiverse features, including the Miiverse applet as well as Miiverse features in games, will function.
