Can you login to the mobile apps with selfhosted Lemmy?


It was easy enough to do it with self hosted mastodon, cant seem to login to any of the Lemmy apps with my selfhosted website? Lemmy.rip

UPDATE: I had to renew through a setting in yunohost, not automatic, porkbun was showing it as valid and I I'm used to them grabbing it automatically or having me paste it in during setup.

Can you access the instance from your phone web browser?

Firefox has thrown a certificate error for me so maybe the app doesn't trust your certificate?

After thought edit: try dropping in a Let's Encrypt cert and see how it goes.

Yeah, I had to renew through a setting in yunohost, got used to panels/managers doing it automatically or letting me paste it in

Yunohost should renew automatically. I got a renewal email from my Yunohost instance this morning. Check your cron job is running.

Selfhosted reshared this.

Mobile apps should allow you to log into any instance. My Lemmy client won't connect to lemmy.rip either, and fails with the following error:

The certificate for this server is invalid. You might be connecting to a server that is pretending to be “lemmy.rip”, which could put your confidential information at risk.

This is also what I see when I try to connect to lemmy.rip in the browser:

I am able to bypass this warning and see the site in the browser.

Mine worke just fine, what errors do you get? Does it work from web access?

Is your instance accessible from outside your self host? Does it federate?

I see the error... You need a valid and non self-signed cert. See how letsencrypt work, its easy and the industry standard today on certs. Its also free and open source.

Yeah I had to click renew manually in yunohost, just assumed if porkbun showed it as valid it would work, my panels for wordpress mightve been doing it automatically lol
