Instructions for running your own lemmy instance.

For the moment, lemmy.ml is using an explicit allowlist for instances we federate with. If you currently run an instance, and would like to be added to join.lemmy.ml:

  • Let us know either on !lemmy_instances, or commenting here.
  • We’ll add you to our allowlist.
  • Add this block to your server’s lemmy.hjson config (for open federation):
federation: {
  enabled: true
  tls_enabled: true
  # allowed_instances: lemmy.ml,other_instance.tld,... uncomment this to use an allowlist
}
  • Type !announcements@lemmy.ml into your server’s search box, and subscribe to it to connect the two instances.

Please allow federation for hive.atlanten.se

they moved away from the allowlist and now only block some.

It looks like you already have federation enabled, but if you’re having troubles you’re probably best off going to [the support community for assistance at !lemmy_support@lemmy.ml

Thanks! I’m just missing a bunch of comments (but not posts) from Lemmy.ml. I thought lemmy.ml were running on an allow list? Might be something else thought.

they moved away from the allowlist and now only block some. federation with my own instance just worked after I got updated to 0.18.1 and adjusted my nginx config

good tip! I upgraded to 18.1 now. Hopefully fixes the missing comments.

part of it was http signature expiration, showed up as

WARN Error encountered while processing the incoming HTTP request: lemmy_server::root_span_builder: Header is expired
  0: lemmy_server::root_span_builder::HTTP request
            with http.method=POST http.scheme="http" http.host=mylemmyinstance.com http.target=/inbox otel.kind="server" request_id=453c8a92-7bb5-4b7e-a4ad-212e91167d4e http.status_code=400 otel.status_code="OK"
         at src/root_span_builder.rs:16
 LemmyError { message: None, inner: Header is expired, context: "SpanTrace" }

in the logs, and that was fixed

the other part was some nginx config changes

Brilliant. i think both were fixed with the ansible update. Thanks for helping out phoenix!

Not sure if you are also knowledgeable about wefwef, I have another question: I have installed wefwef on my host. Works great! Except I can’t get watchtower to update it. I have to do a manual restart of the wefwef constrained every time. I’ve tried to increase the wait time, but no luck. Any tips?

I havn’t looked into it yet, just using plain lemmy-ui for now, but it does look pretty nice

I find myself trembling as I am trying to comment on these brilliant news from a remote instance. This is going to be one most interesting journey.

No it does not, or at least our comments do not seem to be visible from lemmy.ml, nor do we see any of the remote comments from this instance. We should review project issues since this is probably not implemented yet.

Does it make sense to use a single-user instance like I do with pleroma? Probably not at this stage since it would require manual whitelisting, right?

You could I guess, but it’d be a bit weird since lemmy is built around communities.

In a hypothetical future world where there are many vibrant lemmy communities, a person with their own instance could participate in each without their identity being tied to an instance owned by someone else. You could also host a com related to a project you maintain that would be open to lemmy users form other instances, etc.

There is also the problem of having your federation choices made for you. If you use a federation instance with good moderation policies, they also likely do not federate with instances that do not. That’s perfectly understandable and I support any instance owner doing that, but I would prefer to make those choices myself.

At this point it might be premature, but maybe this is a use case you want someone kicking the tires on.

What do users do if they want to enjoy !hentai@lemmynsfw.com? Will such things be added to the whitelist? I can’t seem to access it
