A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.

Rules:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

I am very new to self-hosting and Lemmy and the Fediverse so it's entirely possible I'm missing something simple here. I have spun up my own Lemmy instance and have added lemmy.world to the Allowed Instances. For some reason, I've stopped getting content from lemmy.world communities and I am getting a lot of logs saying "Domain is not in allowlist".

Additionally, I've verified in the DB that lemmy.world is on the allowlist.

Am I missing something? Is something else required to federate with other instances?

Well, first thing, you should read “allow list” as “federate ONLY with these instances”. Block list is the opposite of that, “DO NOT federate with this instance “.

Try removing everything from your allow and block lists and see what happens.

Adding to that, all content from other instances not on the allow list posted to instances on the allowlist also gets dropped.

So both our comments wouldn't show up on an instance that only allows lemmy.world.

Dang, it's almost like speaking into the void here.

So eerie.
