#mastodoninstanceoperators — Public Fediverse posts

I just set up my own #selfhosted Mastodon instance. Often times, I’ll sit down and try to do something on my desktop, and be greeted with “Oops! Something went wrong!” with zero explanation as to what this something is that went wrong.

The browser dev tools say something like “type I is undefined.” The officials docs say to check `journalctl` but my failed actions don’t log anything.

If I use #IceCubesApp on my iPhone, everything is flawless. Sometimes if I come back to my computer later, it just works.

I’m not sure how to even begin troubleshooting “Oops!” Is there a way to make Mastodon give *real* error messages?

EDIT: It’s DNS. It’s always DNS.
