Can you create comments? Subscribe to remote communities on other hosts? Is it working with shakedown testing?
Lemmy Support
Support / questions about Lemmy.
I can do both of those things. What's shakedown testing?
Shakedown testing, "test drive". Ok, so your federation outbound comments deliver to servers. Something is working.
I figured it out. The name I was trying to use was just too long. Thanks though!
cool, have a good weekend.
You too!
What do your logs say?
I'm dumb. The name was more than 20 characters. At least I figured out how to find the logs if I need to. Thanks anyway!
I installed using Lemmy-Ansible. Do you happen to know where it usually installs Lemmy?
Nevermind I found it. I'm not a 100% what I should be looking for but with the logs open when I tried to create a community this pops up:
at src/root_span_builder.rs:16 lemmy_1 | LemmyError { message: None, inner: duplicate key value violates unique constraint "idx_activity_ap_id", context: SpanTrace [{ target: "lemmy_apub", name: "insert_activity", fields: "ap_id=Url { scheme: "https", cannot_be_a_base: false, username: "", password: None, host: Some(Domain("lemmy.ml")), port: None, path: "/activities/announce/841d4651-628b-4646-931a-78ea698bcb50", query: None, fragment: None } local=false sensitive=false", file: "crates/apub/src/lib.rs", line: 179 }, { target: "lemmy_apub::activities::community::announce", name: "receive", file: "crates/apub/src/activities/community/announce.rs", line: 141 }, { target: "lemmy_server::root_span_builder", name: "HTTP request", fields: "http.method=POST http.scheme="http" http.host=psychedelia.ink http.target=/inbox otel.kind="server" request_id=538bcf0f-2686-4770-bf43-b56ddf0acb52", file: "src/root_span_builder.rs", line: 16 }] }
Although this also seems to be constantly popping up whether I am trying to create a community or not.
Community name is probably invalid. Make sure it:
-
is all lowercase
-
has no spaces
-
is twenty characters or fewer
You can change the way it looks with display name later to add spaces, capitalization, extra words, even emojis.
This I know. This is not the first community I've created on my instance.
Oh wait I'm an idiot it was more than 20 characters.
