I’ve actually had pretty good success with ChatGPT when I go in expecting it to hallucinate a significant chunk of what it spits back at me. I like to think of it as a way to help process my own ideas. If I ask questions with at least a base understanding of the topic, I can then take whatever garbage it gives me and go off and find real solutions. The key is to not trust it whole cloth to give you the right answer, but to give you some nuggets that set you on the right path.
I think I’ve basically turned ChatGPT into my rubber duck.
So...it's working now? I haven't touched anything yet, but I just checked my instance again and it works perfectly fine on desktop now. It always worked through Voyager, so I was able to let people know there was an issue. If it comes back I'll try some of these suggestions to find a more permanent fix.
Suddenly getting a server error on my instance
I don't know when it started, I usually check my instance through the Voyager app and it never showed a problem, but I'm suddenly getting "server error" and 502 bad gateway errors on my instance on desktop. I haven't made any major changes (read, any at all) since I last confirmed it worked on desktop.
Checking the logs I don't see any obvious proxy issues but I am getting weird connection issues in lemmy-ui
:
TypeError: fetch failed lemmy-lemmy-ui-1 | at Object.fetch (node:internal/deps/undici/undici:11730:11) lemmy-lemmy-ui-1 | at process.processTicksAndRejections (node:internal/process/task_queues:95:5) { lemmy-lemmy-ui-1 | cause: ConnectTimeoutError: Connect Timeout Error lemmy-lemmy-ui-1 | at onConnectTimeout (node:internal/deps/undici/undici:6869:28) lemmy-lemmy-ui-1 | at node:internal/deps/undici/undici:6825:50 lemmy-lemmy-ui-1 | at Immediate._onImmediate (node:internal/deps/undici/undici:6857:13) lemmy-lemmy-ui-1 | at process.processImmediate (node:internal/timers:478:21) { lemmy-lemmy-ui-1 | code: 'UND_ERR_CONNECT_TIMEOUT' lemmy-lemmy-ui-1 | } lemmy-lemmy-ui-1 | }
Where on earth can I even begin to address this?
Meaning I just wait a bit and retry later?
Upgraded to 0.18.5, which now gives me this error:
lemmy-lemmy-ui-1 | API error: FetchError: request to http://lemmy:8536/api/v3/site?auth=AUTH_KEY failed, reason: connect ECONNREFUSED IP_ADDRESS:8536
I created a gist with my compose file: https://gist.github.com/osiriswrecks/26a875576d3bbcf11923d7715ac15e6e. It should be stripped of all private info. I tried changing the version from 0.17.3 to 0.18.0 and the server returns a gateway error after restarting.
Many years - my dad bought it new in the late 70's and gave it to me around 2005. It's one of my favorite guitars.
Need some guidance with upgrading
Hi! I'm hoping for some guidance upgrading my instance. I'm still running on v0.17.3 because I ran into some issues upgrading to 0.18 and didn't have time to really figure it out. Now that the current release is v0.19, I have people on my instance asking to upgrade and I don't blame them. Can I simply point Docker compose at the latest release, or do I have to do incremental upgrades? What do I need to look out for with v0.18? Documentation seems to be pretty slim for whatever breaking changes happened during that release cycle and how to deal with them. Any help is appreciated!
EDIT: Thank you for all the help! I also had to update pictrs and fix some small config issues and then everything worked as expected. I'm now on 0.19.1!
Oh, so you agree, it’s good* writing, not female leads.
*better. Better writing.
About freaking time. I have it as an option but I hate using it. I’ve been looking for alternatives for a while now because I just expect to lose a couple hundred bucks in “processing” for every project I work on.
Couldn’t happen to a nicer group of people.
They're about 8 years behind the curve though. Just like a client who recently told me they were thinking of getting into NFTs to make some money.
It's a bold strategy, Cotton. Let's see if it pays off for them.

I never used Apollo (I'm an Android user) but I tried wefwef for the first time today and I'm surprised at how natural it feels. If this is what Apollo was like I'm sad I didn't get a chance to experience it.
Major woof if true. u/spez is a true big brain business man.
I just deleted both of my accounts. I'm finally free. There's one community I will occasionally go back and check on but I'll never post on Reddit again.
Believe it or not, I spun up an instance to tackle just that at lemmy.graphics. It's still very new but I'd love to see you over there!
Nope! I'm legit just a regular joe user.
I've never made a Reddit bot (or used one for that matter) or requested an API key though, so I'm not sure what triggered it for me.
It's just pathetic now

I'm still in the process of moving old saves off my Reddit account and found this gem today. Reddit HQ is coping hardcore, I can't image regular users actually care about this.
Following this trend, I would love to see r/superbowl turn into just photos of John Owliver.

Honestly circuit city going under was a net positive for all my friends income. #circuitcity #grift #recession #elonmusk #twitter #pearlmania500 #itsgettingworse #resume #2009 im sure some tech bro will come into the comments to tell me how this doesnt work anymore. Dont care.
I feel like if anyone would appreciate this video as much as I do it'd be you guys. It's a little long but totally worth it.

Ayyyyye don't at me.
...yes. Yes I did.
Instance keeps returning "no_email_setup" error
EDIT: I have it working now! I had to set up DKIM and configure my server so Digital Ocean created the proper PTR records. Now email is being sent to spam but at least it's making it through!
Hopefully this is the last time I need to bug you guys here about stuff. :)
I added a postfix relay to my Lemmy instance and configured the email settings in my lemmy.conf
file but no matter what I do I keep getting a "no_email_setup" error when I try to test the SMTP server. Is there an obvious step I'm missing?

Search bar on personal instance only returns local results

Add-ons you can't live without?
Let's make a list of our favorite add-ons! For me, I always enable these by default:
- Images as Planes
- LoopTools
- Copy Attributes Menu
Then I go out and get my favorite 3rd party add-ons (note, some of these are paid, some are free):
I'm sure there are others but this list is off the top of my head. What do you all use?
Search bar on personal instance only returns local results
I set up my own personal Lemmy instance yesterday and everything seems to be up and running. I installed it on Docker with SSL enabled on a Digital Ocean droplet.
The only thing that doesn't seem to work is federated search. I can search local communities, but no matter what I do I can't get it to recognize other instances. I've tried:
- Searching with the bang prefix (ie, [email protected])
- Searching with the whole URL (https://lemmy.ml/c/lemmy_support)
- Keywords ("lemmy support")
And nothing shows up. I've tried the same search terms multiple times over the past day or so and nothing is changing. My instance has federation and federation debugging enabled (although I can't figure out where the federation debugging outputs yet, because nothing in console log changes), and as far as I can tell there are no errors in the Docker logs that could point me in a specific direction.

How to configure Lemmy instance nginx proxy for websockets?
I'm playing around with my own instance of Lemmy but I keep getting a "websocket connection failed" error in my console. I'm having a really hard time understanding how to set up nginx for websockets - I'm more used to Apache and not familiar with WS at all. Is there documentation hiding somewhere that will help me set up my proxy forwarding properly?
EDIT: Solved! Check out my solution here: https://lemmy.world/comment/141648. Thanks everyone!
