Selfhosted

A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.

Rules:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

Comments and posts I make from my instance aren't showing up on the outside.

I've checked lemmy.one and lemmy.world but I only see posts/comments made from those two instances. Other comments I've made on other people's posts aren't showing up either.

My instance: [email protected]

lemmy.one: https://lemmy.one/c/[email protected]

lemmy.world: https://lemmy.world/c/[email protected]

I'm not entirely sure where to look. I'm trying to parse the logs but nothing is standing out as obviously wrong.

Any ideas?

Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn't work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: [email protected], [email protected], [email protected]

I can see several of your test posts from my instance, probably you searched for it before your posts, so those instances imported it without posts and since no one is subscribed to your community then no posts are sent to those instances.

I wonder if it has something to do with me recreating my instance. I didn't have it set up properly the first time so I blew away the initial vm and spun up another one. I am subscribed to my community on those other servers with accounts on those servers.

I just tried creating a new community: [email protected] Same deal. I can find it and create posts from both lemmy.one and lemmy.world. But posts I create on lemmy.secondpartysoftware.com don't show up on the others.

posts I create on lemmy.secondpartysoftware.com don’t show up on the others.

your server isn't going to send copies to other servers unless an account on that remote server subscribes. You said you created a new community, nobody is going to be subscribed.

I have accounts on lemmy.one and lemmy.world that I subscribed to the new community from.

oh weird, I tried creating a post from a different account on my instance "subscriber" instead of "mrjukes". That post is showing up on the other servers...so it is something weird about my "mrjukes" account or something...
