lemmy.world is now accessible over IPv6

3 years ago by roddy to c/ipv6

This is becoming better day by day. Hope other instances follows that and enables IPv6 as well.

Yay! This seems like a good choice of instance for the first Lemmy IPv6 community.

Awesome! Good to have a service start off with IPv6 instead of have to add it later!

Hello! Digital Ocean has an option for letting me use an IPv6 address but I don't know enough about networking to know what the implications are of upgrading. I chose not to host https://fanaticus.social on IPv6 initially because I didn't know if there were going to be any incompatibilities with lemmy. Can anyone here educate me?

Shouldn't be any incompatibilities as lemmy.world is IPv6 enabled

Thanks! What about DNS? I'd imagine that I'll need to update my DNS to point to my new IPv6 address.

Yes, you'll need to add an AAAA record along side your current A record

I never hosted a Lemmy instance myself but since it's already running and nginx is listening to both protocols (you can try accessing the literal [IPv6] address in your browser, it should bring you to the default nginx page), I believe you can add the AAAA record to your domain and it should work. Don't take my word as final, though. Might ask @Ruud if that's correct.
