Here is mine https://gist.github.com/jeena/6179470a8d616455f30635a5c71f5f64 which had a similar problem with the comments, although I couldn’t post comments on my own instance either.

For me the thing was that I had to add:

map $http_upgrade $connection_upgrade {
    default upgrade;
    ''      close;
}

and

        proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
        proxy_set_header Connection $connection_upgrade;

And also change the nginx in the docker to port 8080 so my normal nginx could keep running on 80 and handle all the ssl certificate stuff.

My setup is:

Browser -> native Nginx -> docker Nginx -> lemmy

I think lemmy.world is a better alternative anyway http://lemmy.world/post/37906

How would one instance know that I set up a new instance without a central service?

While I agree with the facts, seeing that Le Pen is still active in France is not nice, because as much as I don’t really like Macron, at least he prevented her.

Ok, in https://kbin.social/m/kbinMeta/t/8373/Lemmy-compatibility someone figured out that you need to replace the ! with a @ and then it works to find it through the search. I tried it and could subscribe to the magazine I wanted.

Oh wow, thanks for figuring it out! We’ve been talking about it in: https://kbin.social/m/kbinMeta/t/3836/Search-for-remote-magazines-communities-not-always-works but nobody pointed out to replace the ! with a @.

They’ve been loosing money for 20 years, now they want the IPO so they need to show that they can also make money.

I joined /kbin because @feditips warned about lemmy, but https://kbin.social federates with lemmy.ml and in the China topic somehow within 3 hours or so me using /kbin I got into an argument with Tiananmen Square massacre deniers and the moderators started deleting my comments. Damn, I did not expect this to escalate so quickly. And this was not even on lemmygrad.

Anyway, I’m hoping for better blocking tools in /kbin because this will let me survive on that platform :D

And I’m reading it on /kbin

There is a workaround to groups: https://fedi.tips/how-to-use-groups-on-the-fediverse/

That’s what consulates and embassies are for, no need to have hidden Chinese police in the back of the restaurant.

I have the same problem, trying to add !deutschland@feddit.de ad independent of what I do it doesn’t show up.

Ah this is the real tip, thanks!

We have @foosel perhaps she should start the 3d printing one here :D

Oh, and even if they’re annoying, I understand how federation works and that users from lemmygrad could comment there etc. and I can handle the shills, what I was surprised about were the mods on lemmy.ml which started deleting my comments. Doing this, they make it impossible for me to even try to engage in a discussion and show a different point of view to the tankies.

As far as I understood, those were people who had accounts on lemmy.ml, not lemmygrad.ml

Whistle blowing is necessary but not sufficient to bring change.

Ah I was wondering why so many posts have no up/down votes and where those favourites are coming from. Thanks for the explanation!

Especially the lemmy.ml part was kind of terrible, I got into some weird argument with Tiananmen Square massacre deniers and the mods started deleting my comments, so the whole discussion was meaningless and left me very worried for the future of this corner of the fediverse.

Those country ones, I’m in r/sweden and r/korea
