  • It depends... the OP is also using yunohost which can and does have some issues with higher port numbers, plus you also have to factor in if he is self hosting as I suspect, some routers also won't properly forward higher port numbers either. Difficult to say but lowering the port number is one thing to try. Too many variables to really drill down and say what is happening

  • and... with yunohost in most setups there is no need to use port numbers, for various reasons

  • Cloudflare and yunohost user here. Need to install the cloudflared service and make sure it runs and the tunnel connects in the zero trust dashboard. Will say healthy when it does. Try a lower port number, something in the 2000-3000 range is good to test. Then in the correct tunnel once it is showing healthy you need to add a public hostname (for ease of use). Say lemmy.mydomain.com, use https then localhost:portnumber/ Then in additional settings you have to turn on notlsverify else it won't work. That should get it working. To be honest I've not bothered setting up various ports other than the defaults so you shouldn't need to set up the port so just try https and localhost and that should do the trick - this could be where you are going wrong as yunohost doesn't explicity need the port setting in most common configurations. Then in the yunohost admin area you can go into applications and open the app and it should work. Any probs give us a shout

  • It does, but there are issues especially with proxy content. Way easier to listen on lower port numbers especially to debug

  • Cloudflare won't connect to a port number that high. Drop it down to say 2536 and you will be fine

  • oh and to add - I know plenty of people who have never used the internet EVER

  • Hey I know... but it is what it is... I know people who literally have no reason to use emails for example, have never left their home town

  • I did lol at cheap kwh internet - sounds way better than talking energy costs

  • I have a 4-node heater here, but only 2 nodes are in use currently. I got it because it was exceedingly cheap (£75 here in UK and all 4 nodes have 3xE5-2620s and 48 gig ram) but in reality it overkill. Tempted to make a solar powered rpi 5 + m.2 server with battery backup just because I can, but it will be for serving websites both static and wordpress

  • they already exist with things like linktree. I run a links service called linkstack but I have to say I don't see many people using these services really...

  • seen the other post about white screen - you need to turn on the no tls verify in additional settings on cloudflare tunnel and it needs to be set to https and then localhost to work. So just to make sure, the easiest way to do this is to go to the tunnel in zero trust, add a public hostname which is exactly the same as the domain you added in yunohost, set it to https, localhost, then turn on no tls verify. Should work then...

  • usually that means that you need to change the ssl/tls setting to a less strict one or you have not turned on no tls verify in additional settings

  • most of those I talk to struggle with emails to be fair.... we are talking about the non techy people, I feel that is the real reason. Nothing I have seen about the fediverse helps displace the feeling you need to be more techy to use it

  • nope they have plenty of UK focused things. Run by a US corp of course, but plenty of local content. I welcome the debate, but for the majority of people not in the fediverse ecosystem, the numbers just look awful and that is a massive reason they don't either look here, or stay. Herd mentality is strong. Most of them are in no way shape or form techy either

  • It doesn't, but stalling is different than just sitting roughly the same. I am talking about my experience, with my peers and clients... most of whom have just upped and left

  • All the meta products, reddit, old fashioned forums... plenty of things. Discourse (pah) tik tok. Different but have way more users. I'm genuinely curious how they get so little traffic in this day and age against other methods. And yes, I know I'm asking on Lemmy, but I'm new here, and I still cannot fathom why they are so quiet

  • For me and the clients and fwiends I talk to the issue with the fediverse for them is the decentralised nature. Most of them are NOT tech inclined and the suggestion that they would have to choose a server and that choice will influence the experience is a deal breaker - pure and simple. To follow up then if they do join, the sheer lack of numbers baffles them and they quit

  • Point to cloudflare as using tunnels... I have said this already, but this is exactly what is happening
