  • Hi there!

    TL;DR: probably have an nginx misconfiguration. Check the nginx logs for errors.


    You don’t need to install and run nginx on the host. It has its own container in the docker-compose.yml which gets started up on docker-compose up -d

    If both instances of nginx are trying to bind to the same port, one will start and one will fail.

    Is the lemmy proxy nginx docker container running? Check with: docker ps or docker container ls. If the lemmy nginx proxy container isn’t running, try stopping the host instance of nginx (systemctl nginx stop) and restart docker lemmy (docker-compose down, docker-compose up -d), the try to access your site again.










  • Very true. It would be sad to build up a persona on a smaller instance to then have it go dark and take your user with it. Other than losing your collection of “upvotes,” you can just recreate a new user with the same display name on another instance and keep going. 👍

    Holy crap, you can do Slack style emoticons? Huzzah! 🎉


  • It’s at the top of the list on join-lemmy.org’s popular server list, next to lemmy.world and beehaw.org, of course new users will sign up on the more popular ones. Plus, a few posts on reddit called out these three which set everything in motion.

    Once folks start to understand how it works, they might start to sign up on other ones, for a “cooler handle @ address” for their user, or register a domain and start their own instance like I did.

    Anyway, welcome aboard, right?
