Right you are, I messed up the external host. Thanks!

Below is my current dockerfile, which is using 0.19.11 right now to fix the issue. The issue happens when I switch to 0.19.12.

I’m using the regular Docker file, and I’m getting the same thing.

Lots of the following in the UI logs.

{ name: 'couldnt_find_person', message: '' }
{ name: 'couldnt_find_post', message: '' }
{
  name: 'unknown',
  message: 'Query deserialize error: invalid digit found in string'
}
{
  name: 'unknown',
  message: 'Query deserialize error: invalid digit found in string'
}
{ name: 'couldnt_find_post', message: '' }
{ name: 'couldnt_find_post', message: '' }

However, Photon’s alternative UI works fine.

Well sure, but that doesn’t seem to be working.

I mean. I can’t because I defederated from Threads. But neat, I guess.

I’m preemptively defederating from Threads. But I’m not necessarily opposed to refederating in the future, if Meta proves benevolent. Some bigger Mastodon admins are going with a wait and see approach, but as the sole admin of a small instance, I’d rather not have to rush to defederate if shit hits the fan.

So, that one developer is the main developer of Lemmy, and you may be surprised to find out there are only two of them. Lemmy is open source and takes contributions from others, but its development is driven by two full time devs.

If you want to donate to development, that’s how to do it. If you want to donate to a specific instance to keep it online, then follow any donation instructions in your instance’s sidebar.
