I went to upgrade Lemmy from 18.4 to 18.5 but in the process it failed with an incorrect Postgres password error. I’m trying to create a new docker container and mount the postgres volume in order to reset the “lemmy” user password but can’t figure out how to get it running without knowing the password....
I used the Lemmy-Easy-Deploy method but the catch is that I migrated from Google Cloud Free Tier to a paid server with another host. I have the backups so I can always restore from that if I really have to. I have an env file with the password that it should be using but I’m not sure how it was changed…

There was an attempted upgrade from 17.4 to 18.1 RC 1 and RC 2 but neither went very well and caused issues such as the Hot feed not updating and browser caching issues. Most issues were fixed by clearing browser cache.
Ok, imagine this, you are on reddit (say, a slow hobby focused subreddit), everybody there is nice and knowledgeable, and one day, the mods there announced that since there is not enough "content" on the sub, they are going to use a bot to repost content from 9gag in order to "bolster engagement" and "grow the community"....
I blocked that account just now but I’d rather block the whole instance. It’s a neat idea but I see absolutely no reason for it to federate if it’s just an RSS aggregator.
Are you sure you don’t have a return character in the user name after “lemmy” accidentally? I haven’t set up an instance but it looks like that could be your issue.
Memmy is an early fave (posting from it now) but it reminds me so much of the Dec-Feb app development days for Mastodon. So many fun options to try out!
