You’re right, it’s not their responsibility.

The software would still be better if it had this feature, or at least some kind of warning or notification to alert users of the problem before they upgrade.

You’re probably right.

I’m trying to look up a user on my instance from another insance with theirinstance.com/u/myuser@myinstance.com and it’s not working.

I’m not sure what could be causing this, it could be something simple like the previous issue I had earlier with the domain name. I’m going to go through my settings and try to figure this one out, but I’m still kind of new to all of this so it may take some time.

Thanks yet again.

I tried claiming my instance, but now I’m getting the error: API Key PM failed

Slowly and steadily, this problem will be solved!

Thank you. I think I figured it out.

In my lemmy.hjson file, I accidentally put the internal IP address of my server instead of the domain name. This was a carry-over from testing on my main machine by using an IP address and port forwarding because I didn’t have a domain name to use.

I changed the hostname setting in lemmy.hjson to my domain name, and now it seems to be working. Sort of.

Now I have a different error, “Your instance is not guaranteed in Fediseer. Please check fediseer.com”, but this one seems less of a technical issue. I will have to learn what this is about and hopefully I can get it to work :)

Censorship and surveillance need to die.

I have a lenovo, and while the software side seems to be good, the hardware side is not.

They clearly don’t give a shit about hinges and use the cheapest, thinnest plastic they can source.

It’s fucking stupid and should be illegal, but our representatives don’t represent us.

Thanks, this looks interesting.

I tried adding my instance under “Manage Instances” but got this error: Request timed out: GET https://{INTERNAL_IP}/nodeinfo/2.1

I’m not sure what this means. Could anyone help provide an explanation?
