I recently setup my own lemmy instance per the guide with docker and I have been having issues getting content to my server. I discovered a bunch of communities and instances and started subscribing to some communities to get constant updates. The problem is no matter what I do it is stuck on “subscription pending” and I get no new content on my server. I have been trying to figure this out for a week now, thanks in advance for any help.
So far from tailing access.log I get a status of 200 from subbing and unsubbing from a community. Still stuck on pending though.
Did you get posts to webfinger and inbox coming from the remote instance as well? If you have nothing then the remote instance was unable to push back to you.
You should see a whole bunch of lines like these in the NGINX logs:
54.36.178.108 - - [09/Jul/2023:23:27:08 -0400] "POST /inbox HTTP/1.1" 200 0 "-" "Lemmy/0.18.1; +https://lemmy.ml"
If you don’t, then that’s a problem.
