On Monday, Reddit’s ad manager encountered a brief outage, during which buyers were unable to look at reporting statistics, even while impressions were still delivering, though the impact was fairly minimal, per four sources. (The Verge reported the moderator blackout crashed the site, although it’s unclear whether the crashes are related).

So the site was down for quite a bit of time but the ad related stuff was just a minor hiccup?

Fixed it, I just commented in here from my instance :D But our previous comments don’t show up, I think I saw a post about this issue yesterday.

I was trying it but since it’s alpine we don’t have curl, but I tried ping and no, it doesn’t work.
I’m googling what I can do.

The issue in this post for me was already fixed.
Now I do have another issue, not sure if it’s related to what you’re mentioning.

I’m getting this error when trying to search for a community in another instance.

That I’m not sure, I just updated the password and have been using that one, not sure if it can be changed in the UI.

I solved it just copying the nginx.conf file
The commits of @jax@lemmy.cloudhub.social have the solution.

You can just update the config of nginx to another port and then use your own reverse proxy, in my case I’m using caddy.
The instance is up, but I can’t search communities of other instances yet '^-^

Well, your password is incorrect.
Is this for the admin user?
Did you updated the lemmy.hjson file with the admin user you want to use?

I did this and also created a new user and didn’t have any issue logging in.

I used to live in Mexicali where IIRC we reached 53C one summer for a few days, the rest were max 50C for a couple of days (during the time I lived there), there was no rain, no clouds, and little to no wind.
I had an office job, so only my commute had me outside during the day, maybe also going to buy lunch.
For the most part it was only to go out after the sun had set if I wanted to do something. All the stores, houses, and businesses have AC, also the public transit even if it just mildly lowered the temperature.
I heard stories that before AC people just endured it, sitting outside at the shadows of few trees and other kind of covers.
Also the original settlers made an underground city to endure the heat.
IIRC the first mall that had AC (La cachanilla) was so popular that during summer it was common to be incredibly full, the verb “cachanillear” was used to mean to go walk in the mall, mostly just during the summer.

Now in Montreal the heat is very humid and I miss the dry heat of the dessert haha.
In here the houses are built to trap heat for the winter, but it backfires during the summer.
Again, with an office job, and now fully remote thanks to the pandemic, a portable AC does the trick.

Also, I don’t remember where I read it, but simple fans stop being useful after certain temperature, but I don’t remember what it was.

Here’s the documentation https://join-lemmy.org/docs/en/administration/first_steps.html#inclusion-on-join-lemmyorg-instance-list

• Federate with at least one instance from the list
• Have a site description and icon
• Be patient and wait the site to be updated, there’s no fixed schedule for that

What’s the current bottleneck?

That’s what I’m going for with some subs I have in mind.
After I learn how to maintain a lemmy instance I’ll check with some language and/or world building subs to have a dedicated instance, starting with conlangs and neography.

I know, I’ll deploy some stuff in the VPS I have (including a lemmy instance), that’s why I’m looking to buy a domain.

Yeah, I also thought about that, but I think once I have my own instance it’ll be easier to also contribute to the project and find improvements for this :)

I still don’t fully understand the federation of instances, do other instances have to do something so I can interact with them? Or will it be only on my side?

Yeah, what I was also thinking is if for some reason the instance decides to close then I’d lose my posts and comments.
I’ll give it a try, I have some free time and space on my server xD

AFAIK is every community your instance has access to that has already been accessed by someone in your instance.
What I mean is if someone creates a community in lemmy.one it won’t show up for anyone in lemmy.ml until someone manually searches for it or for a post in that community.

Ah, got it!
I’ll look into it, AFAIK caddy autogenerates all certs for each site, so probably I’ll have to manually create and import the wildcard one.

Got it. Based on the documentation and the caddy example it only needs ports 80 and 8536, correct?

It’s not possible https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/1985

The other issue linked at the end says the possible solution is to export/import some data, like subscriptions. But it’s not implemented yet.

Does it affect if I run lemmy inside a tailscale machine with all inbound ports closed?
