We are a community oriented business and I really hate the big tech companies controlling the fate of my company. Lemmy seemed like one of a few easy alternative platforms where we were free from being stuck under the thumb of a tech giant or a ban away from loosing our members.
The only thing I can think of that might be interfering is HSTS? I'm not sure how acme is accessed when a browser can only access a site with ssl. Perhaps HSTS is interfering with the cert process somehow?
This is out of my skillset but I'm sure there's documentation online I can check out to give it a shot. We use this server for our (very) small business so I'm trying not to jack anything up worse than it is but it seems like something I could potentially tackle. Thank you.
Thanks I'm gonna check this out first thing. I thought that was weird but I'm not sure what in httpd.conf could be interfering with the process. I will give the file a better read through and see what I can come up with - it's a good starting point.
Just popping in this morning to thank everyone for their suggestions overnight. I have some stuff to look at now when I get to the office this morning. Can't respond to every comment at the moment but I will. Just wanted to say thanks.
My friend chose it, he was old school. I don't personally have a preference between the two but we use this server for our small business so I haven't really wanted to risk messing everything up to switch when it's (mostly) currently functional.
Can we advertise instances? lol I started one for makers making things. (it's brand new so its empty)
Edit: It's https://pixels.makearmy.io/ for anyone who's curious. We're on a small time server so no promises as to performance, still working out the bugs and such but if you're curious check it out.
People feel like the only vote they have that matters anymore is the one they can make with their wallet. You can't tell people their politics are separate from their products when the CEO's control the government through donations and lobbying.
This is fuckin wild.
