Yes I had considered that, but considering that ours is not a giant but moderate instance (a thousand subscribers) it seemed exaggerated to get to have 1GB occupied every day.

well, indeed it could be just that. I just checked and it’s size is 15GB 😱

Thanks, will try it 👍

My problem was that the Hetzner server was new and therefore certain ports were closed. I solved it by contacting Hetzner support and having them open the ports.

It seems to have been resolved: the problem was the private instance setting, as soon as I edited in the database and it worked again 🙈

I actually only used Ansible for the first installation, all subsequent ones I manually updated only the docker file and following the various instructions that were given only in this update it didn’t work.

If it helps I can post my current configuration file docker-compose.yml

I tested from Mastodon but votes seems not works

Found out just now what the problem was.

I am writing this to help others: the federation was active in that instance but it was also marked as a private instance. This gave no problems in using it until the update (probably because it is restarted and re-run Docker).

I removed the federation from the config file leaving only the private instance and it restarted immediately.

I have answered and find the solution here: https://lemmy.ml/post/258218/comment/176759

Thanks for the help!

yes, actually i tried ‘none’, ‘tls’ and ‘starttls’ but with no success. I tried with external SMTP because the default created by ansible does not work:

  email: {
    smtp_server: "postfix:25"
    smtp_from_address: "noreply@mydomain.it"
    tls_type: "none"
  }

It is the same thing that I thought. Unfortunately, if I try to manually force the port by writing smtps.aruba.it:465 as I said the server freezes for several minutes, goes to 504 and does not send any email.

So I can not understand if the port must be entered in another way (?) or if I have to install something on the server first to be able to send an email through an external SMTP as in this case?

Be careful because Kiwi in the latest release insert a lot of tracking: https://reports.exodus-privacy.eu.org/it/reports/com.kiwibrowser.browser/latest/

• Facebook ADS
• Google AdMob
• Google Firebase

Same :) Try this instance: https://visionon.tv/w/3f29b19f-c0e7-4b0f-8bc2-2fab8da876f6

I understand doubts, especially if there is a lot of work to do I think it is right to ask as many questions as possible.

Personally I think of at least two other reasons for changing the instance:

the first is a possible problem with the moderators / admin. For example in case they did questionable operations.

The second concerns me more personally: I opened a community here because there are no Italian instances. It took me a few months to convince people to sign up here, it would be ironic to tell them “no, now re-sign up somewhere else”.

Since in this thread we talked about how to invite people to subscribe and / or how to create more instances for me this is one of the reasons that pushes me not to try.

In the meantime, thanks for the discussion and listening

People are often lazy, especially if I convinced them to join the “xxx instead of reddit” site to follow me. It would definitely be counterproductive to tell them again “ah no now you have to follow me on yyy, not xxx anymore”.

Obviously it is right to consider the work to be done and the right priorities. Personally I love Lemmy, I would be a little sorry to be somehow linked to this instance “forever”, I think the idea of ​​decentralization and faithful universe is a little less.

just my thoughts :)

Yes, on Mastodon there is an “export” and “import” settings for the followers (not for the post): https://docs.joinmastodon.org/user/moving/ and on the old istance remain just a placeholder that redirect on new profile/instances.

I’m glad the idea is of your interest :)

Also this is one of the most important feature (for me) on the fediverse. If an instance “goes bad” it’s good transfer all on other istance. By the way my question was in this topic because i already have 100followers on my community and this is one of the reason can’t open another istance if i can’t import all the followers.

Question: it is possible to “migrate” a community from an instance to another?

👍 thanks

no, without link works well: https://lemmy.ml/post/180482
