[SOLVED] How to configure Lemmy instance nginx proxy for websockets? (lemmy.world)

I'm playing around with my own instance of Lemmy but I keep getting a "websocket connection failed" error in my console. I'm having a really hard time understanding how to set up nginx for websockets - I'm more used to Apache and not familiar with WS at all. Is there documentation hiding somewhere that will help me set up my proxy forwarding properly?

EDIT: Solved! Check out my solution here: https://lemmy.world/comment/141648. Thanks everyone!

So looking at this again now, am I taking that whole block and adding it to the container's nginx.conf? If so, does that mean I have to change what port it's currently listening to (because there's already a rule in the file for port 80)?

There's a comment in that server rule that says "this is the port inside docker" and a comment immediately after that says "this is facing the public web", which confuses me.
