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.

    Yes you can use lemmy apps to access a self hosted instance, but you will need a real certificate for that to work.

    A quick check of Lemmy.rip show it has a self signed certificate, thats not going to allow you to access it easily and my even stop federation from working.

    You should be able to get a lets encrypt certificate very easily.

        yunohost has a dedicated page in the admin ui for you to configure your domains and certificates. default is a self-signed one unless you generate a proper one

    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

    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?

    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.
