I’ve actually had pretty good success with ChatGPT when I go in expecting it to hallucinate a significant chunk of what it spits back at me. I like to think of it as a way to help process my own ideas. If I ask questions with at least a base understanding of the topic, I can then take whatever garbage it gives me and go off and find real solutions. The key is to not trust it whole cloth to give you the right answer, but to give you some nuggets that set you on the right path.
I think I’ve basically turned ChatGPT into my rubber duck.
So...it's working now? I haven't touched anything yet, but I just checked my instance again and it works perfectly fine on desktop now. It always worked through Voyager, so I was able to let people know there was an issue. If it comes back I'll try some of these suggestions to find a more permanent fix.
I don't know when it started, I usually check my instance through the Voyager app and it never showed a problem, but I'm suddenly getting "server error" and 502 bad gateway errors on my instance on desktop. I haven't made any major changes (read, any at all) since I last confirmed it worked on desktop.
Checking the logs I don't see any obvious proxy issues but I am getting weird connection issues in lemmy-ui
:
TypeError: fetch failed lemmy-lemmy-ui-1 | at Object.fetch (node:internal/deps/undici/undici:11730:11) lemmy-lemmy-ui-1 | at process.processTicksAndRejections (node:internal/process/task_queues:95:5) { lemmy-lemmy-ui-1 | cause: ConnectTimeoutError: Connect Timeout Error lemmy-lemmy-ui-1 | at onConnectTimeout (node:internal/deps/undici/undici:6869:28) lemmy-lemmy-ui-1 | at node:internal/deps/undici/undici:6825:50 lemmy-lemmy-ui-1 | at Immediate._onImmediate (node:internal/deps/undici/undici:6857:13) lemmy-lemmy-ui-1 | at process.processImmediate (node:internal/timers:478:21) { lemmy-lemmy-ui-1 | code: 'UND_ERR_CONNECT_TIMEOUT' lemmy-lemmy-ui-1 | } lemmy-lemmy-ui-1 | }
Where on earth can I even begin to address this?
Meaning I just wait a bit and retry later?
Upgraded to 0.18.5, which now gives me this error:
lemmy-lemmy-ui-1 | API error: FetchError: request to http://lemmy:8536/api/v3/site?auth=AUTH_KEY failed, reason: connect ECONNREFUSED IP_ADDRESS:8536
I created a gist with my compose file: https://gist.github.com/osiriswrecks/26a875576d3bbcf11923d7715ac15e6e. It should be stripped of all private info. I tried changing the version from 0.17.3 to 0.18.0 and the server returns a gateway error after restarting.
Hi! I'm hoping for some guidance upgrading my instance. I'm still running on v0.17.3 because I ran into some issues upgrading to 0.18 and didn't have time to really figure it out. Now that the current release is v0.19, I have people on my instance asking to upgrade and I don't blame them. Can I simply point Docker compose at the latest release, or do I have to do incremental upgrades? What do I need to look out for with v0.18? Documentation seems to be pretty slim for whatever breaking changes happened during that release cycle and how to deal with them. Any help is appreciated!
EDIT: Thank you for all the help! I also had to update pictrs and fix some small config issues and then everything worked as expected. I'm now on 0.19.1!
About freaking time. I have it as an option but I hate using it. I’ve been looking for alternatives for a while now because I just expect to lose a couple hundred bucks in “processing” for every project I work on.
Couldn’t happen to a nicer group of people.
They're about 8 years behind the curve though. Just like a client who recently told me they were thinking of getting into NFTs to make some money.
It's a bold strategy, Cotton. Let's see if it pays off for them.

I never used Apollo (I'm an Android user) but I tried wefwef for the first time today and I'm surprised at how natural it feels. If this is what Apollo was like I'm sad I didn't get a chance to experience it.
Major woof if true. u/spez is a true big brain business man.
Believe it or not, I spun up an instance to tackle just that at lemmy.graphics. It's still very new but I'd love to see you over there!
I've never made a Reddit bot (or used one for that matter) or requested an API key though, so I'm not sure what triggered it for me.

I'm still in the process of moving old saves off my Reddit account and found this gem today. Reddit HQ is coping hardcore, I can't image regular users actually care about this.

I feel like if anyone would appreciate this video as much as I do it'd be you guys. It's a little long but totally worth it.
"Alright boys, you heard him. He said the magic word. Let's pack our things and get out of here."
This is the thing that gets me. I'm fine if Reddit wants to diversify revenue, or ask developers to pay a fair share. But the callous disregard for developers, users, moderators, and communities they built is beyond the pale. I don't know how someone can look at the timeline of events and how Reddit has handled this and think, "this is a company that deserves my money". Huffman's comments in the press alone, leaked or not, make him look like a giant d*uche canoe. The moment my saved posts are transferred out I'm gone.
100% this. I ended every day doomscrolling until I got bored or the feed accidentally refreshed and sent me back to the top. Now I'm starting to see how bad that was for me.
I've felt this so hard the past few days. I would often post on Reddit and never get noticed or find myself just wading through a sea of garbage. Here, it's a lot less noisy but the interactions I do have are noticeably more genuine and that feels great.

It looks like email is getting blocked because I need to set up SPF or DKIM. From my postfix logs:
This mail is unauthenticated, which poses a security risk to the 550-5.7.26 sender and Gmail users, and has been blocked. The sender must 550-5.7.26 authenticate with at least one of SPF or DKIM.
Now I'm off to figure that out!
EDIT: It works now! Emails are currently being sent to spam but at least it's making it to my inbox.
Done. And restarting the lemmy container appears to have helped! Now if I click "forgot password" with my email in the user field it at least shows a "sent a reset email" notification. I don't see an email yet though, either in inbox or spam, and no error logs from what I can tell but I'll keep looking.
EDIT: I have it working now! I had to set up DKIM and configure my server so Digital Ocean created the proper PTR records. Now email is being sent to spam but at least it's making it through!
Hopefully this is the last time I need to bug you guys here about stuff. :)
I added a postfix relay to my Lemmy instance and configured the email settings in my lemmy.conf
file but no matter what I do I keep getting a "no_email_setup" error when I try to test the SMTP server. Is there an obvious step I'm missing?

Wanted to cross post this here in case someone has had this issue before. Been dealing with this for a couple of days now.

Where can I start looking to properly debug this?

Let's make a list of our favorite add-ons! For me, I always enable these by default:
- Images as Planes
- LoopTools
- Copy Attributes Menu
Then I go out and get my favorite 3rd party add-ons (note, some of these are paid, some are free):
I'm sure there are others but this list is off the top of my head. What do you all use?
I set up my own personal Lemmy instance yesterday and everything seems to be up and running. I installed it on Docker with SSL enabled on a Digital Ocean droplet.
The only thing that doesn't seem to work is federated search. I can search local communities, but no matter what I do I can't get it to recognize other instances. I've tried:
- Searching with the bang prefix (ie, !lemmy_support@lemmy.ml)
- Searching with the whole URL (https://lemmy.ml/c/lemmy_support)
- Keywords ("lemmy support")
And nothing shows up. I've tried the same search terms multiple times over the past day or so and nothing is changing.

I'm playing around with my own instance of Lemmy but I keep getting a "websocket connection failed" error in my console. I'm having a really hard time understanding how to set up nginx for websockets - I'm more used to Apache and not familiar with WS at all. Is there documentation hiding somewhere that will help me set up my proxy forwarding properly?
EDIT: Solved! Check out my solution here: https://lemmy.world/comment/141648. Thanks everyone!
