Welcome to our virtual third place, The Café.

Come on in and make a new human connection over a cup of coffee (or Teh Tarik). This is a casual community, do whatever you want, share your oyen pics, your frustrations, and even organize a weekend picnic with the community. The world is your oyster.

Rules are simple, be kind and civil with each other. As with any other café, rude patrons will be kicked out.

Ah, did you uncheck undetermined?

Da fuq, that was the problem. posted d

Huhu, that language option always causing huge issue, i've learned changing that option will cause me unable to post and some people reported unable to see a lot of comment. It's annoying.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

No idea what's going on with that. I put it to undetermined but at least one other person can see the post (and commented)

Undetermined is the default, and i think Cafe set to undetermined as well, so if you pick English you can't post it to community that isn't set to English. It's very janky. And if you change your language setting in your profile setting, you won't be able to view a lot of comment and post as well.

Honestly, i still have no idea how that thing works, so better just leave it.

let's see if the newly released lemmy 0.18.1 solves this problem (to the tech team: lemmy-ansible has also been updated).

a tip that I've heard: due to the changes in the path of some .js files, after the upgrade, those of us still using the browser (instead of apps) will need to refresh monyet.cc to get the old path out of browser cache.

keep in mind that this 0.17.4 to 0.18.1 upgrade is a major one, touching almost all lemmy components. so, backups will need to be taken, and we'll all have to keep our fingers crossed that the upgrade completes without any complications.

all the best to the tech team!

Hope so, but i heard of the same problem from lemmy.world after they updated to 0.18.1, so maybe it will be fixed in stable release.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

the stable release is out, at least for 0.18.1 it is, and lemmy.world has been upgraded

We're upgrading hopefully tonight!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

that's great news :-)

here's an issue that I think a couple of other instances have run into: https://github.com/ubergeek77/Lemmy-Easy-Deploy/issues/26 (it's not from the lemmy-ansible repo but I think this developer tries to follow lemmy-ansible's docker file quite closely)

from a glance it seems to involve the /etc/hosts file interacting with docker dns, causing lemmy-ui to fail when finding the site icon (so if you haven't set that then you probably won't encounter this issue)

edit: okay, I think https://monyet.cc/pictrs/image/9af04c84-4810-436c-9263-b550eb2de176.png is the site icon, so you have it set

Thanks for shaking that out for us!! :)

you're welcome.

I hope I'm not bombarding you with issues, here's another one, but it can wait until after the upgrade: https://github.com/ubergeek77/Lemmy-Easy-Deploy/issues/38

see especially this comment where the lemmy easy deploy developer does not recommend running the default postfix container included in the docker file due to vps hosts blocking port 25.

so, you'll probably have to work out another way for users to receive a password reset email (and there is some further info about using sendgrid in the issue that may help).

edit: I just realized I've never actually tried out the password reset function (also haven't heard any of the other users discussing it), so if my assumption is wrong, and it is working properly for monyet.cc, then please disregard this.

Thankfully we've got external email - we ran into this or a similar issue. Thanks! :)
