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 also have one subscription that has said “Subscription pending” for a while now…

    Can you explain what you mean by fixing the /inbox routing? I set up lemmy using ansible and did not set up my own routing: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ansible

    Anyway, I added “inbox” to the proxy config labeled with a #backend comment in the nginx config that the cookbook set up. From location ~ ^/(api|pictrs|feeds|nodeinfo|.well-known) {...} to location ~ ^/(inbox|api|pictrs|feeds|nodeinfo|.well-known) {...}. I’m not seeing any immediate difference, but let’s see what happens.

    Also, I’m not sure why it would be like this, but I thought you might want a heads up that this is how your comment appears for me on lemmy.ml, though I can see it fine on my own instance: https://i.imgur.com/pZDRxhz.png

      I deleted it because I posted it from my user (not mod) account, so I guess the alt is blown lol. Interesting to see how deletion works/propagates in Lemmy anyhow. I originally had ^/(inbox|api|pictrs|feeds|nodeinfo|.well-known)/ and added an explict /inbox rule. I found it because I was watching proxy logs and was seeing that path 400, so if you’re not seeing 400s in your logs, it’s probably something else.
