Hello all,

I am trying to understand what I need to do to ensure that my Lemmy instance can be federated, found, and usable with other instances and users.

Currently, the issues I’m running into are:

  • If I search for my own user@myInstance.tld from any other instance, nothing comes up.

  • When I try to add my instance to FediDB.org, it shows that my “Instance is invalid, unreachable or unavailable.”

  • When I subscribe to other communities from my instance, I am seeing posts, but no comments appear at all. I have verified that those same threads appear on the instance that they are generated on. (My understanding is that I should be able to see these comments and be able to respond to them)

  • All of the other communities that I have attempted to subscribe to are showing “Subscribe Pending”, but the 2 communities that I’ve created on my instance are obviously showing as Joined.

I know I’m asking a lot, but it seems to me that obviously something is misconfigured, or I’m using Lemmy wrong.

What am I doing wrong? I can post configs if needed.-

      I had to set it as this because if I used port 1234 for lemmy-ui then it would give me 502 bad gateway errors.

              set $proxpass "http://127.0.0.1:10633/";
        if ($http_accept = "application/activity+json") {
        set $proxpass "http://127.0.0.1:8536/";
        }
        if ($http_accept = "application/ld+json; profile=\"https://www.w3.org/ns/activitystreams/"") {
        set $proxpass "http://127.0.0.1:8536/";
        }

      But this works.
