The official instructions do not scale nor do they work for all situations. But besides that, the problem is not that my bad setup caused a problem. Shit happens and I didn't blame anyone but myself. The problems is that when a problem occurs, one has to get lucky to get support. I don't have to even prove this. I know for sure a fact that there's lemmy instances that decommissioned because they followed the default setup, run into issues, got no support and gave up.

Edit: Also, man, from one Foss developer to another: You really have to learn to stop the instinct to say 'it broke because you did it wrong'. I know it feels unfair, but trust me, this is not the way.

I'm not saying you did it wrong, it's open source so of course you can use it in any way you like. But some ways have a higher risk of breaking than others.
