Hi all. I just setup a new install from scratch on FreeBSD (write up to come once I work out all the issues) but I can’t seem to subscribe to remote communities.

I’m running the backend and UI versions 0.17.4 and you can see the instance at https://discuss.petersanchez.com

Anytime I try to search for any community (ie, !lemmy_support@lemmy.ml) it says not found. Logs show errors about values, etc. I try via full URL or via the local instance url (`/c/lemmy_support@lemmy.ml) and it’s the same. I was able to subscribe to 1 remote community but about 10 others fail to be found.

Here’s an example of an error from the logs:

2023-06-30T00:10:30.187507Z ERROR HTTP request{http.method=GET http.scheme="http" http.host=discuss.petersanchez.com http.target=/api/v3/ws otel.kind="server" request_id=bfe8111b-8a78-4bc8-8e04-d4a91ff08837 http.status_code=101 otel.status_code="OK"}: lemmy_server::api_routes_websocket: couldnt_find_object: error decoding response body: missing field `properties` at line 1 column 158

I can access my users json details with curl -H 'Accept: application/activity+json' https://discuss.petersanchez.com/u/peter just fine.

Here is my nginx config:

https://paste.sr.ht/~petersanchez/2bd686389f7d0bdd5e8645fcedbae65717344885

I’m thinking this may be the issue because I pieced this together based on past ansible-lemmy changes as the newer version seems to be geared towards 0.18.0 and doesn’t appear to pass into the UI (port 1234) any more.

Any ideas? Thanks in advance!

Apologies - This is a repost. Seems my last question got lost in all the turbulence over the last 4 days but the issue continues here.

    I’ve had a look at your instance and the community you’ve said you’re subscribed to… you’re not, there’s no posts or anything. It may show subscribed but it’s lying to you.

    The UI version is showing as unknown version which is strange. I also can’t sign up which is doubly strange. So, there’s definitely an issue with your setup. I’d also guess that there’s an issue with network connectivity between your instance and the www. I can’t say anymore without further info. I’m sorry I couldn’t be of more help. I’m happy to help out more though, from one instance owner to another, drop me a message over at https://iam.dru5k1.com/mastodon. You know the saying two heads are better than one.
