I’m experimenting with hosting my own instance. It seems like things are working, e.g. the steps in the troubleshooting doc work, http routing seems correct, etc. I can subscribe to other instance’s communities and see the posts. However, comments are not syncing at all not even new ones. I suspected it might be a lemmy.ml problem, but I also get this behavior from other instances as well. I am running 0.17.3. How do I debug this, or is it the expected behavior (new to Lemmy, of course).
I should add that I get “Subscribe Pending” instead of Subscribed on any subscribed thread from any instance, if that matters or is a symptom of something.
I’m going to add: is your instance externally accessible? Other instances need to be able to reach out to it.
You can also do docker compost up (without the -d) and see the more detailed debugging info as its running. Might give you an idea where to look
