Got any ideas to make the instance better? Any issue with federating from your home instance? Post it here.

PSA: Federation does not work correctly with some instances (self.metadiscussions)

Currently known problematic:

  • lemmy.ml
  • beehaw.org

I'll look into possible causes for the problem, as of right now the most likely culprit is the excessive server load on these two instances preventing the federation actions from completing.

I'm trying to connect to here from a Mastodon instance, but when I type in the account in the search box, no results are found. A hypothesis that came up is that cloudflare is blocking some requests so federation can't take place. Are we behind CF?

[–] neshura 2 points 1 year ago

No I considered it but decided against it due to reports that cloudflare caused issues. It might be related to my proxy setup but I'll have to investigate that.

Looked into it a bit and also cleaned up the proxy config.

Result: Maybe Mastodon is confused because my public IP also has a Mastodon instance but other than that, no idea. Looking up Mastodon Instances from here works but for some reason not the reverse. Will investigate more tomorrow

Thanks!

Update: I can federate, praise the gods! \o/

It probably was the proxy config then
