I had to restore an old backup because in no way had the problem resolved itself.

If you’re interested on GitHub they suggested this to me: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/2653#issuecomment-1380541659 unfortunately the suggestion came after I restored the backup and I couldn’t try it.

If you’ll try it let me know if it works or not!

Hello, I have the exact same problem as you, and it also happened to me at the time when my instance was running out of free space.

Did you by any chance solve it somehow?

I tested from Mastodon but votes seems not works

Found out just now what the problem was.

I am writing this to help others: the federation was active in that instance but it was also marked as a private instance. This gave no problems in using it until the update (probably because it is restarted and re-run Docker).

I removed the federation from the config file leaving only the private instance and it restarted immediately.

I have answered and find the solution here: https://lemmy.ml/post/258218/comment/176759

Thanks for the help!

I think i got it solved.

It was fault of being a new customer of Hetzner, ask them to make some tests and with port opens it’ll go!

yes, actually i tried ‘none’, ‘tls’ and ‘starttls’ but with no success. I tried with external SMTP because the default created by ansible does not work:

  email: {
    smtp_server: "postfix:25"
    smtp_from_address: "noreply@mydomain.it"
    tls_type: "none"
  }

It is the same thing that I thought. Unfortunately, if I try to manually force the port by writing smtps.aruba.it:465 as I said the server freezes for several minutes, goes to 504 and does not send any email.

So I can not understand if the port must be entered in another way (?) or if I have to install something on the server first to be able to send an email through an external SMTP as in this case?

I was able to get it started/running with this command: ansible-playbook -vvv -u USER -k -K -i inventory/hosts lemmy.yml

Anyway now it ends with an error (it’s Debian 11):

Be careful because Kiwi in the latest release insert a lot of tracking: https://reports.exodus-privacy.eu.org/it/reports/com.kiwibrowser.browser/latest/

• Facebook ADS
• Google AdMob
• Google Firebase

Also this is one of the most important feature (for me) on the fediverse. If an instance “goes bad” it’s good transfer all on other istance. By the way my question was in this topic because i already have 100followers on my community and this is one of the reason can’t open another istance if i can’t import all the followers.

Question: it is possible to “migrate” a community from an instance to another?

👍 thanks

no, without link works well: https://lemmy.ml/post/180482

I have the same problem (every browser). On my console:

And can’t upload any image, give this error:

Same!
