Did you get it to run on docker? My personal instance is running, federation and community search semm to be working but when I subscribe to something it just says "pending" and does not seem to actually go through
I did, yes. It took me a few hours of troubleshooting though, spanned across two days. I'm using Nginx Proxy Manager instead of the Nginx proxy that comes with Lemmy, but it all translates similarly. I also followed this guide on YouTube.
If it's sitting there saying "pending" for your subscriptions, it may be that the "proxpass /" location ports are off by one. It'll look like it's federating properly, but really it isn't. That was one thing I noticed with the documentation/examples; things were off and not updated. Check my screenshot attached for what I mean. The documentation/example config for the proxy lists the Lemmy-ui port as 1235, but it's actually 1236.

Hopefully that makes sense. If I can be of any more assistance, let me know!!
Thanks! I'll check the video and I'll double check my configuration. The example compose file and config files already needed some tweaking for me to get to this point but maybe I've missed something.
