I hope this is the right place for this.

So, here is the thing: my lemmy instance is accessible in the browser via its domain, everything is fine, but no other communities are shown. When I test federation with "curl -H "Accept: application/activity+json" https://my-instance.com/u/some-local-user" I get a SSL certificate error.

So I figured that it has something to do with my reverse proxy and modified the nginx.conf like described in the documentation.

But the error persists.

This is my nginx.config in /etc/nginx/sites-enables/:

" limit_req_zone $binary_remote_addr zone={{ my_domain }}_ratelimit:10m rate=1r/s;

server { listen 80; listen [::]:80; server_name {{ my_domain }}; # Hide nginx version server_tokens off; location / { return 301 https://$host$request_uri; } }

server { listen 443 ssl http2; listen [::]:443 ssl http2; server_name {{ my_domain }};

# Replace these lines with your own certificate and key paths
ssl_certificate /etc/ssl/certs/{{ my_certs }};
ssl_certificate_key /etc/ssl/certs/{{ my_keys }};

Maybe, someone has an idea how to solve this. I'm really at the end of my wits here :(
