Hi,
I just spun up Lemmy 0.17.3 in my kubernetes cluster but I'm having trouble getting it to federate with anything.
I can curl the API endpoints for local posts which all looks good, but all searches fail. In the logs for the backend the stack trace looks like it's failing at trying to resolve the object.
My instance is https://campfyre.nickwebster.dev (which is funny because I briefly ran a hand-made social network called Campfyre from ~2014-2016)
Edit: I am now running 0.18.0 and still have the problem with search.
Edit 2: I added a RUN update-ca-certificates
step to my docker container for lemmy_server
and now I can do a direct connection (i.e. https://campfyre.nickwebster.dev/c/memes@reddthat.com) although search still fails.
How are you searching? The best way I found to load up my instance was to head to this site
https://lemmyverse.net/
Click the house in the top right and input your instance domain. This will reformat everything to the right search term.
Then click the little copy link (it’s the one under the primary instance name). And paste that into searc and mash search a few time. The instance will appear in search after a few tries (heavier trafficked instances are slower to respond). Then just open the instance and subscribe. That will start syncing the community. Your federated instances will slowly grow from there.
Yes, I've tried searching with the correct format. I also tried directly navigating to a community from mine via a URL, which threw this interesting error:
That is because the community hasn’t been synced. In 0.17.4 it was just a generic 404 community not found.
When you are searching are you leaving the filter to all or setting it to community?
Can you post a screenshot of your filter/search query?
Yes, searching is what is not working.
