There he is, on his way to signing the contract... for the car rental! And then onto signing the contract with the Patriots! Let's go!

Aww man, no auto-play of gifs? OK...

This was the key that led to to the fix. Thank you!

Its federating to lemmy.ca now. : https://lemmy.ca/c/wow@lemmy.ml

I tried search for https://lemmy.ca/c/wow@lemmy.ml for giggles, and that also had the exact timeout error.

I have no idea what that means, either. I checked all the admin sections, and nothing pending anywhere on my end.

That's a great idea. I will try some other communities.

Yes, I have a few comments in the world of warcraft community on lemmy.ml. When I search for that using the shortcode: !wow@lemmy.ml , I get an immediate response with no results.

Server side, there is a timeout error in the log, but that is timing out in less than a second.

I wonder if instances need to be allowed to interact with lemmy.ml?

It's possible I have something misconfigured... but what I don't know!

Thank you for this. I will look through it now to see what I can learn.

!social@links.dartboard.social

Searched for that 👆 and checked the logs... timeout issue...

Thanks! I've been searching for known communities I have posts in, but not getting any hits. Using the full shorthand, like: !wow@lemmy.ml there are no results.

No, it is not there.

Thank you for helping me try to figure this out! I've tried full and shortcode but don't get any results.

I've searched for communities here on lemmy.ml I know exist via shortcode but not getting any results.

Please let me know if it isn't working. My block & allow lists are empty.

I spent the last few hours trying to get mail working on my instance. Eventually I set up postfix on my linux host and had the lemmy docker container use that. Happy to say it is working.

Does the gmail SMTP server have a limit on how many emails can be sent per day?

You need to put the container name inside the docker network as the host.

I was not sure what you meant by this. The closest possibly was this?

lemmy-ui:
    image: dessalines/lemmy-ui:0.17.4-rc.4
    networks:
      - lemmyinternal
    environment:
      # this needs to match the hostname defined in the lemmy service
      - LEMMY_UI_LEMMY_INTERNAL_HOST=lemmy:8536
      # set the outside hostname here
      - LEMMY_UI_LEMMY_EXTERNAL_HOST=localhost:1236
      - LEMMY_HTTPS=true
    depends_on:
      - lemmy
    restart: always

I changed localhost:1236 to my FQDM:1236 and it did not seem to have any impact either way. Maybe it did? I honestly don't know. But, I thank you for the help anyway!

I’m trying Brevo right now which has a free SMTP relay allowing 300 emails every 24 hours. The Brevo admin console shows green, relay setup and verified (adding some TXT DNS entries on my domain registrar).

As far as I can tell, everything is setup, and lemmy.hjson has the email block with the correct smtp-relay address, port, user and password.

I bring lemmy down and back up to pick up the new settings, but when I go add an email address to my user profile and click save, I get an error:

email_send_failed: Connection error: time out 0: lemmy_api::local_user::save_settings::perform

I tried updating to the latest lemmy release candidates for both BE and UI, too. No difference.

GoDaddy, nothing free, but they have office 365 for $1.99 (USD) a month.

I’ll check out Gandi, but assume you can only use their relay if you registered the domain through them?

Valid point on self hosted SMTP, but I’m just experimenting and didn’t want to waste any money on an SMTP / relay service. But I suppose if folks could recommend a good external smtp service I’ll have a look.
