For me, I have to do ‘url: “http://pictrs:8080/” ‘ instead of 127.0.0.1 in the config.hjson file

I checked this, and my lemmy.hconf file already has the host for pictrs set to http://pictrs:8080.

The only thing that has worked so far is manually unsetting my site’s image icon by unsetting it directly int he Database.

Note: this seems like it has something to do with the database, and something getting royally messed up post upgrade.

After trying all sorts of network hacks and updates, I eventually just decided to backup my Postgres container, and nuke it.

With a fresh Postgres DB running along with 0.18.0, my self hosted site is back online. Of course, my local post history and all my subs are gone… but at least my site is operational again.

I’d advise anyone self-hosting to not upgrade to 0.18.0 yet.

That sounds correct to me.

I wonder if these are real users or if someone wrote a script to register users via the lemmy API… 🤔

I self host! Very nice having an instance all to myself.
