hosting freshrss locally and just tested that it can subscribe to reddit no problems (although I don’t want to) - their cloud instances should work : https://www.freshrss.org/cloud-providers.html

Great work. Thanks for all the effort and info.

we aren’t “competing”. We aren’t shilling for an IPO. We aren’t trying to emulate commercial social media. We don’t need 20% annual growth - or even significantly more users. We just need civil discussion forums without vitriol being deliberately injected to maximize ad impressions. On the fediverse, we are not the product.

Find your reddit community on the fediverse:

Lemmy Community Browser

you can run something like this on the host - make sure you use the correct container name

#!/bin/bash
# check the container name with docker ps first
container_name="instance_name_postgres_1"

echo "dumping pgsql"
# Backup command
docker exec -t "${container_name}" pg_dumpall -c -U lemmy > lemmy_dump.sql

suggest you not leave unencrypted backup on the host system but copy it somewhere else, preferably after encrypting it with gpg.

yes, good suggestion, thank you - although before I do I’m going to spend a bit of time to see if I can isolate the problem - I just tested it from a mobile device and the local PC browser and it’s working now. I used the exact same url, text and everything to create the post and I didn’t change anything - didn’t reboot, didn’t even restart the browser. Except for the fact that it’s intermittent, it looks like some kind of js or css problem, but I need to replicate it and if I do that, I’ll probably be able to figure it out.

Hi there - thanks for posting. I’m serving lemmy (ansible install) on nginx from Ubuntu 22.04 and I’m seeing this weird problem sometimes where the submit button is not enabled on the “create post” form. Sometimes it works but then it inexplicably stubbornly refuses to - I am not seeing any apparent error show up in the console, nothing in the lemmy or nginx logs (naturally, because the HTML form isn’t submitting to the server because the submit button’s disabled). Happens in different browsers, tried restarting nginx, rebooting, nothing seems to fix it. Now, my addled brain does recall seeing something about Ubuntu 22.04 having some issues with Lemmy and perhaps that’s what I’m seeing - it’s just weird and I’ve never seen a web app do this before - any ideas? The url is quex.cc and you’re welcome to test there if you like, but I’m really just looking for any suggestions for investigation before I start thinking about moving to a different OS.
