Instructions for running your own lemmy instance.

For the moment, lemmy.ml is using an explicit allowlist for instances we federate with. If you currently run an instance, and would like to be added to join.lemmy.ml:

  • Let us know either on !lemmy_instances, or commenting here.
  • We'll add you to our allowlist.
  • Add this block to your server's lemmy.hjson config (for open federation):
federation: {
  enabled: true
  tls_enabled: true
  # allowed_instances: lemmy.ml,other_instance.tld,... uncomment this to use an allowlist
}
  • Type [!announcements@lemmy.ml](/c/announcements@lemmy.ml) into your server's search box, and subscribe to it to connect the two instances.

It looks like you already have federation enabled, but if you're having troubles you're probably best off going to [the support community for assistance at !lemmy_support@lemmy.ml

Thanks! I’m just missing a bunch of comments (but not posts) from Lemmy.ml. I thought lemmy.ml were running on an allow list? Might be something else thought.

they moved away from the allowlist and now only block some. federation with my own instance just worked after I got updated to 0.18.1 and adjusted my nginx config

good tip! I upgraded to 18.1 now. Hopefully fixes the missing comments.

part of it was http signature expiration, showed up as

WARN Error encountered while processing the incoming HTTP request: lemmy_server::root_span_builder: Header is expired
  0: lemmy_server::root_span_builder::HTTP request
            with http.method=POST http.scheme="http" http.host=mylemmyinstance.com http.target=/inbox otel.kind="server" request_id=453c8a92-7bb5-4b7e-a4ad-212e91167d4e http.status_code=400 otel.status_code="OK"
         at src/root_span_builder.rs:16
 LemmyError { message: None, inner: Header is expired, context: "SpanTrace" }

in the logs, and that was fixed

the other part was some nginx config changes

Brilliant. i think both were fixed with the ansible update. Thanks for helping out phoenix!

Not sure if you are also knowledgeable about wefwef, I have another question: I have installed wefwef on my host. Works great! Except I can’t get watchtower to update it. I have to do a manual restart of the wefwef constrained every time. I’ve tried to increase the wait time, but no luck. Any tips?

I havn't looked into it yet, just using plain lemmy-ui for now, but it does look pretty nice

[–] SynapticOddity@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

I recommend it. It’s a great smartphone frontend. Still missing some small features, but super great usability.
