Hi Lemmy community,

I’m running into some strange federation issues with my instance (buddyverse.one) and could use some advice. A few months ago, I shut down my instance due to storage constraints and deleted the database, as there was no clear way to remove old posts to free up space. Today, I recreated the instance from scratch, but I’m facing several problems:

1. Subscription Pending Issue: When I try to subscribe to communities (both from my instance and from lemmy.ml to a community on my instance), it gets stuck on "Subscription pending." It’s not resolving even after waiting.

2. Old Content Persisting: My profile on other instances (e.g., lemmy.world) still shows old posts and comments from before I shut down the instance. It seems no Lemmy instances removed my content when I deleted my database.

3. Old Replies Resurfacing: I commented on a thread recently, and it pulled up old replies people made to my comments from months ago, before the shutdown.

It looks like the federation didn’t properly handle the deletion of my instance’s content, and now it’s causing issues with the new setup. Has anyone dealt with something similar? How can I:

• Fix the "Subscription pending" issue for community subscriptions?
• Ensure old posts/comments are removed from other federated instances?
• Prevent old replies from resurfacing on new comments?

Any guidance or troubleshooting steps would be greatly appreciated. I’m running the latest Lemmy version and have checked the basic federation settings (enabled, no strict allowlist). Thanks in advance!

Instance: buddyverse.one
Lemmy Version: 0.19.11 Logs: Happy to share relevant logs if needed—just let me know what to look for.

Hardware Information:

• Model: HP Victus by HP Gaming Laptop 16-s1xxx
• Memory: 16.0 GiB
• Processor: AMD Ryzen™ 5 8645HS w/ Radeon™ 760M Graphics × 12
• Graphics: AMD Radeon™ Graphics, NVIDIA GeForce RTX™ 4050 Laptop GPU
• Disk Capacity: 512.1 GB

Software Information:

• Firmware Version: F.13
• OS Name: Fedora Linux 41 (Workstation Edition)
• OS Build: (null)
• OS Type: 64-bit
• GNOME Version: 47
• Windowing System: Wayland
• Kernel Version: Linux 6.12.9-200.fc41.x86_64

Issue Description:

I've been experiencing persistent issues with brightness and display on my Fedora workstation. Sometimes, the brightness becomes very low, and I can't fix it without rebooting the laptop. This issue also occurred on Ubuntu, and it happened twice recently.

Just a few minutes ago, my display went completely black, and I had to hold the power button to shut down and restart the laptop. Here are the relevant errors from the log:

nvidia 0000:01:00.0: [drm] Cannot find any crtc or sizes

...

ACPI BIOS Error (bug): Could not resolve symbol [_SB.PEP.DETY], AE_NOT_FOUND (20240827/psargs-332)

...

ACPI Error: Aborting method _SB.WMID.WMAA due to previous error (AE_NOT_FOUND) (20240827/psparse-529)

These issues don't occur consistently, making it difficult to reproduce them. I can perform all tasks normally, including gaming, without encountering these problems most of the time.

If I cannot resolve this issue once and for all, I may revert to Windows 11. Any suggestions or solutions would be greatly appreciated.

Hi everyone,

I’ve noticed that when I create a file in the mounted directory, it gets uploaded twice. I came across this GitHub issue: https://github.com/s3fs-fuse/s3fs-fuse/issues/427, which basically says this is the intended behavior.

Is there any way to avoid this? I’m concerned because this effectively doubles the cost of storing files.

Here’s what my /etc/fstab entry looks like:

s3fs#nextcloud101 /mnt/nextcloud101 fuse _netdev,passwd_file=/etc/passwd-s3fs,url=https://s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com/ 0 0

For context, I’ll be using this with Nextcloud.

What’s the best way to deal with this?

Thanks in advance!

Hi,

I'm hoping someone can help me with an issue I'm facing with Keycloak and OCIS.

Background: I installed OCIS (ownCloud Infinite Scale) and configured it to use Keycloak as the OIDC provider. Everything works perfectly when logging in via the web interface. However, I'm encountering issues when trying to log in from the ownCloud mobile apps (iOS and Android).

Problem: Whenever I attempt to log in from the mobile apps, Keycloak reports a "client not found" error. According to various forum posts, Keycloak is creating a new client each time a login attempt is made from the mobile apps. Since these dynamically created clients are not configured properly, the login fails.

Suggested Solution: One developer suggested disabling dynamic client registration in Keycloak. This would prevent Keycloak from creating new clients automatically and ensure that the existing, properly configured client is used.

My Setup:

• Keycloak version: 26
• OCIS version: 5.0.9 (Stable)

What I've Tried: I've looked through the Keycloak admin console and documentation but haven't found a straightforward way to disable dynamic client registration. I've also tried configuring the clients manually, but the issue persists.

Questions:

1. How can I disable dynamic client registration in Keycloak version 26?
2. Are there any other settings or configurations I should be aware of to ensure smooth authentication for the ownCloud mobile apps?

Any guidance or insights would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Nextcloud (AIO) has been a nightmare 😫. I’m planning to ditch it since I don’t have the time to keep tweaking it or dealing with constant issues.

Now, I’m torn between Seafile and OwnCloud.

I was interested in trying OCIS but couldn’t find a ready-to-use Docker Compose file. If anyone has one, I’d greatly appreciate it!

Also, I’ve read concerns about how Seafile stores files. Is that still an issue?

I use Portainer to manage containers, but I’m okay with a manual setup too. I just need a ready-to-use Compose file for quick deployment.

Thanks in advance!

Edit: Found a solution. Haven't tried yet.

Hi everyone,

I'm seriously thinking about moving from Nextcloud AIO to OwnCloud Infinite Scale (OCIS), and I'd love to hear your thoughts.

Here’s why I’m considering the switch:

1. I need software that’s stable and doesn’t break after every update.
2. Minimal maintenance is a priority for me.
3. A solution that works out of the box with minimal setup complexity.
4. Support for Docker Compose deployment.
5. Support for S3 storage as the primary storage backend.

What I like about OCIS:

1. It's written in Go (which I prefer over PHP).
2. It doesn’t require a database, simplifying setup and maintenance. (Not sure about it)

However, I’m still hesitant due to:

1. The limited documentation for OCIS.
2. Concerns about whether it’s as open-source friendly as Nextcloud.

While I’ve been using Nextcloud Talk, I find it slow and unstable, so I’m planning to transition to XMPP. That said, Nextcloud itself has been challenging to maintain, and I’m looking for something faster and more reliable.

For those who have experience with OCIS, would you recommend switching, or should I stick with Nextcloud despite its issues?

Thanks in advance for your input!

I love her voice and attitude 😍

Trying to ditch YouTube Music & Spotify for self-hosted music has been a struggle. I've subscribed to YT Premium today.

Here's how my attempts have gone:

• Nextcloud Music (with Recognize): The web UI is great, has all the features I need. Downside: no transcoding and playback through Subsonic or Ampache clients is slow, sometimes causing server issues.

• Jellyfin: Streaming works fine, but it doesn't recognize individual artists (my files are in one big folder, so albums are jumbled).

• Navidrome: Similar to Jellyfin, artist recognition is off and playback isn't as smooth.

I'll try Plexamp next. What else should I try?

All of my songs are stored in NextCloud.

I'm looking for a resource efficient AI model for text generation (math, coding etc.) that will work with LocalAI. Which model should I use? I don't want it to use more than 1-3 GB RAM. I'll run it on a vps to use with Nextcloud.

Edit: I'm use Mistral AI and Groq.com instead of selfhosting the models. They both have generous free plan.

I'm currently using @[email protected] for my music collection after downloading over 2.5k songs from YouTube Music (Premium). While it works fine for most things, I'm looking for a better alternative. My key requirement is to read files from a mounted WebDAV folder (NextCloud Folder).

The Subsonic API in NextCloud Music works fine, and I've had no issues streaming through clients like Symfonium and Subtract. However, I want to eliminate the 5-10 second buffering issue I experience on mobile. When I tried @[email protected], my NextCloud AIO instance became unresponsive after about 30 minutes (happened twice, not sure why).

I also tried Navidrome, but I didn't like how it organizes music—it only recognizes album artists, which doesn’t work for me since I don’t have albums. I downloaded the songs in Playlists using Seal.

Ideally, I’m looking for a solution that streams high-quality music instantly, like Spotify or YouTube Music. If possible, I'd prefer tweaking my Nginx config to resolve the buffering issue rather than setting up new software. What alternatives do you guys use for fast, high-quality music playback with WebDAV support?

Edit: Forgot to mention, the buffering issue only occurs when I use a Subsonic or Ampache client with NC Music. The web version works very smoothly.

Edit: The issue with Nextcloud Music was occurring because of rate limiting.

Hi,

I want to replace lemmy-ui with photon. How can I actually do this? Do I need to just install it using docker and reverse proxy to the port? Is there any docker compose method? Where can I set the environment variables?

TIA
