Hi, everyone! A few of you have brought to my attention that lemmy.world is not receiving new posts from fanaticus and vice versa.
I’ve been debugging it and haven’t been able to resolve the issue. Fanaticus’ nginx logs are reporting that all requests incoming from lemmy.world are returning a 400. Additionally, we’ve found that outbound requests to lemmy.world from fanaticus are being responded to with a CloudFlare page.
I am reaching out to the lemmy.world admins to see if we can get fanaticus’s IP whitelisted on their CF config. I’ll update this thread with any news.
August 19th Update Part 2
I’ve finally made contact with the lemmy.world admins and they have confirmed that we were added to a CF blocklist. We have just been removed from the blocklist. I think the game bot traffic may have gotten us in some hot water. We may have to turn down the chatter the bots in order to save them some bandwidth.
I have confirmed that fanaticus.social can reach lemmy.world now. I am starting to see 200 responses mixed in with the usually wall of 400s coming from lemmy.world so hopefully things will start to clear up shortly.
Awesome. Thanks for all your work getting this resolved!
Great news! Thanks for your persistence!
