I've reinstalled lemmy several times and after I went public with my instance, I figured out federation is broken for those posts with a low id, because those posts got federated and after reinstall, they have been ghost data and no sync happened.
Now, I've figured out that almost every post is broken and doesn't federate correctly. It shows the wrong posts on different mastodon instances.
Will a new installation, BUT with a new subdomain solve the problem?
If yes, will it be possible to move all posts to the new installation without breaking anything or do I have to rewrite every post?
I've created a question about the moving posts on Github, too.
I've set up a Lemmy instance and tested federation by commenting with my Mastodon account on the lemmy instance, which worked.
But I broke the test instance and had to start over (not even once).
The productive instance runs now, but after a few days I figured out that there is still the old post from the old installation on Mastodon and over Mastodon I can't see the new post and no new comments?
It is the same link (older Mastodon post, old Mastodon post, new Lemmy post), but the content is different.
How to solve this problem? Is it even solvable?
I'd like to create a safe space without distraction and a focus on specific topics.
But as soon as a user from my instance posts or reacts to something outside of my instance, a lot of data gets transferred and everyone from my instance will see the post in the "All" timeline.
This could lead to a lot of distraction pretty fast, especially people with ADHD could lose track if they see some interesting stuff from other instances. I want to avoid this and give them a safe space to be able to focus.
The only way I figured out was to deactivate federation at all. There is only one button in the settings.
But I would like to keep the feature that people could comment from other Fediverse tools like Mastodon, Kbin, Peertube, etc., but it doesn't work anymore, if federation is deactivated.
Is there a way to keep away all federated content from other instances, which got in touch with my users (proactively cross-posted stuff is okay), but keep the feature so people from other instances could post something?
And it would be okay if my users comment on external posts, too, but not all people on my instance have to know it or get distracted by it.
Thank you for your help :)
I've installed Lemmy via ansible, but I figured out that there are problems with emails and after I've created a user, no verification email came, no login is possible and now I have a ghost account I want to delete.
Because I couldn't find an UI element to purge users in the admin panel, I want to do it over postgresql, but I have no idea how to connect to the Lemmy database over a docker container, only thing I've found is to backup/restore the whole database:
docker-compose exec postgres pg_dumpall -c -U lemmy | gzip > lemmy_dump_
date +%Y-%m-%d""%H%M_%S.sql.gz
Thank you for your help.
I am trying to figure out how people can subscribe to a Lemmy community or Lemmy thread?
It might be possible to see a community on Mastodon if you copy the link (example: https://lemmy.ml/c/lemmy_support) and paste it into the search field on Mastodon and then you can hit subscribe and even activate the bell for notification.
But nothing happens if I do that.
Can someone confirm that it usually works like that, but it may be a problem of my Mastodon instance?
Is it possible to subscribe to threads, too, e.g. like this one here I wrote (without being the creator of a thread)?
I would really like to go public with my Lemmy instance, but if this doesn't work, it's a no-go.

Attached: 4 images I finished a #crochet project and even if it took me a week, I am #proud of it. It is a bag for paper tissues. Explanation: I tried to figure out a more #sustainable way to clean my nose, because those tissues are always coming with plastic. There is a way to buy tissues without a plastic (or even double plastic) packaging and it's to buy those tissues in paper boxes and just take as many you need with you in a small bag. The bag is made out of yarn leftovers/second hand yarn and the material is cotton (Wool is bad!). And I want to create 3 of them to have one at my desk, one in my car and one in my backpack. So there are at least 2 more projects on my crochet list for this year 🙂 #crocheting #diy #success
A few days ago I started to learn Elm with the goal to create a new front end for lemmy.
At the same time I want to create tui applications, which are really modern.
So someone recommended Crate tui, which is a Rust library.
Should I keep learning Elm or should I switch to Rust or should I even learn both, even if it takes a lot of time and energy?
I really like RSS feeds, especially with tools like newsboat and there are RSS feeds for everything, like Reddit posts or even Youtube channels.
Is it possible to get RSS feeds for Lemmy groups or even posts, too?
This would boost the workflow immensely.
