For those of you who host their own Lemmy instance internally, are you able to log in to your Lemmy account after connecting with the local IP address?
I get SyntaxError: JSON.parse: unexpected character at line 1of the JSON data.

You are not logged in. However you can subscribe from another Fediverse account, for example Lemmy or Mastodon. To do this, paste the following into the search field of your instance: !selfhosted@lemmy.world

This is the way
You’ll probably want to do it by dns name
It worked on 0.17.4, but on 0.18.0 I get the error you get
