Wow, thank you for these great resources! I will check it out. I really appreciate it!

Sadly, no. My server has been a bit neglected but it’s been plugging along and working fine for the most part. I need to upgrade though. And I assume pictrs but to be honest I haven’t checked. I just noticed today it was running poorly and checked and the drive is full.

Thanks for the suggestion! As Nix asked, do you happen to know of a guide or any documentation I could reference for this?

That sounds like a good idea. Do you know of any documentation for this? I’d like to give it a try.

Thank you, that SQL command looks like exactly what I’m after! I’m going to give that a shot. I appreciate the help!

Interestingly now that I searched with the URL once and subscribed to a community, I can search with the !community@instance.tld on lemmy.world. Apparently the URL trick is only necessary until federated. Lemmy.world content is showing up in my “all” feed already and things are looking good.

I sort of just got it working. I searched and found a thread where someone said to try entering the full URL. I pasted in the https:// url from a community page on Lemmy.world and it worked. I wonder if that might clue anyone in to what is wrong with my setup. At least I can federate with more instances now though. Woot! Thanks for the help!

Hmm, it sounds like my configuration must be wrong then. I can’t search for anything on Lemmy.world, but Lemmy.ml works. Do you have any idea what might cause that?

I’m actually not sure. I remember doing an apt install conky but it’s possible that it was already installed and that switched it to manually installed. I also installed tint2 panel, just like the good old days. My panel is extremely minimal. There is no clock, battery info, desktop switcher, or anything except my minimized windows. My battery info, date, time, weather, moon phase, and lots of the usual conky sensor data are available in my conky.

Thanks for the perspective! I am a reluctant newcomer to Docker so I appreciate it. Time for me to get with the times and embrace Docker since that’s the most popular installation method for many of my favorite self hosted platforms these days. It might take a while for me to really get used to it though. Since I have this setup and working it will probably remain as is, but I’ll make a point to do a pure Docker setup on a similar build in the future.
