I followed the docker installation instructions and added the certificate successfully but I get this status:
400 Bad Request | nginx

I replaced my host IP and domain for privacy
Please see my comments below for more info. I tried putting all text here in the body but it won’t let me post.

The lemmy service needs access to the external network, too. It’s not in the docs, but there’s a bug on GitHub about it (on mobile, can’t find it).
I created a third network called lemmybridge and added it to my lemmy service definition.
Thank you for the tip, I’ve been fighting this damn problem for hours trying to figure out why my instance wasn’t able to make external requests.
Popped in a third network into the docker compose file and now things seem to be working
