[Resolved] Unable to federate with kbin instances? (lemmy.blackeco.com)

Has anyone self-hosting Lemmy been able to federate with kbin instances? I subscribed to magazines on a few kbin instances (kbin.social, fedia.io and kbin.sh) but they do not push new posts to my instance, while Lemmy instances have no problem.

Is it a known bug in kbin or Lemmy? Is there an issue with my install (which is behind a reverse proxy and WAF)? Is it a "feature" in kbin to stifle competition?

Update #1: I have been made aware (thanks @stu@lemmy.pit.ninja and @meldrik@lemmy.wtf!) of a recent fix in the nginx config, but I don't think that's it: when looking at my reverse-proxy's logs, I don't even see any POST requests made to the inbox from kbin instances, so I believe they don't even try to push updates to me.

Update #2: Updating to Lemmy 0.18.1 resolved the issue!

It's just a bug.

Do you have any more info? Like is it a bug in kbin, in Lemmy, has a bug has been reported to the corresponding project?

[–] meldrik@lemmy.wtf 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It has something to do with the nginx configuration of Lemmy afaik. See this patch: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ansible/pull/114

Oh I see, this config file is not in the main project (which is used for the docker-compose setup) I'll try this one, thanks

Are you installing from scratch, docker, or Ansible? I know in Ansible the default nginx config has been wrong for a week or so, but just got fixed this morning.

I'm using the Docker compose one
