Weirdly enough, it works correctly after a reinstall. Here's what I did, if it helps anyone:

1. Delete the virtual server at Hetzner
2. Create a new virtual server
3. Ensure SSH still works
4. Run the Ansible playlist
5. Open the site and configure the new Lemmy instance
6. Do not disable federation
7. Create a new community and initial comment, run the curl commands noted above (I can't see this being valuable except as a confirmation that everything is working)
8. Block lemmygrad.ml and enable federation debugging
9. Search for a community on another server (I used [email protected]), open it up, then subscribe

I'm hesitant about a solution that involves reinstalling, but I'm new enough at managing virtual environments that I'm not going to look a gift horse in the mouth.

After some digging, I found the nginx config in the lemmy-ansible file structure: templates > nginx.config

However, this is highly abstracted because it's part of the Ansible install. I'm pretty sure I shouldn't edit it.

One possible clue - so far, I've been enabling federation from the UI. There's a bit in the configuration documentation that says that the lemmy.jhson needs to be updated with a federation block: https://join-lemmy.org/docs/en/administration/configuration.html

I don't have this file in the lemmy-ansible directory.

I also tried troubleshooting the federation setup again after reinstalling the instance from scratch.

All four CURL commands now return proper JSON:

• curl -H "Accept: application/activity+json" https://your-instance.com/u/some-local-user
• curl -H "Accept: application/activity+json" https://your-instance.com/c/some-local-community
• curl -H "Accept: application/activity+json" https://your-instance.com/post/123 # the id of a local post
• curl -H "Accept: application/activity+json" https://your-instance.com/comment/123 # the id of a local comment

Would this be a better question for the Ansible Github?

Thank you for sharing!

I'm trying to figure this out and I'm stuck at creating the file to save the API key. Where did you put the file in the lemmy-ansible setup?

Now you need to specify your credentials (use apikey as username and an API Key as password) in the separate file /etc/postfix/sasl_passwd (you'll likely need to create it):

I'm in the same boat and confirm that yes, port 25 is blocked.

Does Duolingo count as a game?

Bandcamp is such a treasure trove.

I'm listening to Allison Russell's Outside Child now and strongly contemplating buying the record.

I know we're talking about moving away from Reddit but I don't see this on your list and it sounds like it might be a match for your interests --have you taken a look at /r/badwomensanatomy?

I thought about creating loseit, but I'm not up for moderating something like that. I can see it getting hairy quickly.

I have sunk so many hours into that game. So raw, so satisfying.
