this is FreeAssembly, a non-toxic design, programming, and art collective. post your share-alike (CC SA, GPL, BSD, or similar) projects here! collaboration is welcome, and mutual education is too.
in brief, this community is the awful.systems answer to Hacker News. read this article for a solid summary of why having a less toxic collaborative community is important from a technical standpoint in addition to a social one.
some posting guidelines apply in addition to the typical awful.systems stuff:
- all types of passion projects and contributions are welcome, including and especially those that aren't programming or engineering in nature
- this is an explicitly noncommercial, share-alike space
- don't force yourself to do work you don't enjoy, or demand it of others

it isn’t just you; this very frustrating lemmy github thread has a bunch of other developers that ran into it too. there are a few workarounds in there — it looks like the official method is to use lemmy’s dockerized setup for everything, of course, but it seems there’s a few other ways forward if you’d understandably prefer not to use docker.
lemmy depending so hard on its weird docker environment is something I really would like to fix very soon
is it just me or is this fundamentally proprietisation?
has anyone bothered checking the docker image for presents?
if they were more technical I'd mutter "Jia Tan mf's"
(to let this rant out just a tiny bit:) it is infuriating how much more rope container-based workflow has given the "works on my machine" dipshits of the world
it has also minorly improved the problem in that if they have to ship container construction workflows (which by and large are Dockerfiles, but..) then you get to see what kind of insane bullshit they pull to do this. but then at the exact same time you get to see that bullshit, which instantly makes things worse again. 1 tiny step forward, 300 paces of frenetic running away in horror
Oh for fuck's sake. They depend on postgresql@16 but in their official documentation they say to use
brew install postgresql
, which installs 14 as that's the current stable/LTS/whatever in the brew repos.And then run the Lemmy
db-init.sh
script. Now it works.At least I didn't have to use Docker.
