I'm a little unsure now, because @feditipstold me a few days ago, that Cloudflare even messes with federation and for example kbin.social was only using it as an interim solution. Do You know what this is about?
Actually, federation doesn't seem to have completly stopped anyway, since we are talking to each other on different platforms. Also, there are new threads and posts from other instances or other software popping up constantly.
So in which way is it told to be messing with federation then? I'm really just curious. :D
I've been trying to optimize for the potential influx of people moving off of Reddit in the coming days, and this was one of the steps I took. I doubt Cloudflare will remain permanent, especially with the above concerns in mind.
When I moved us, I also updated our Privacy Policy detailing the use of Cloudflare.
Either way, I haven't seen any underlying federation issues, just slowness in receiving all activity on a post, which has been a hallmark of a lot of servers lately with the Lemmy 0.18 bug and Kbin.social queues being inundated.
I'll continue to keep an eye on the situation and adjust as necessary. Disabling the CDN is only a flip-switch in our domain registrar. ;)
Thank You for your further explanation! That's good to hear, espacially the part that it's not permanent! :)
Yes, I cannot see any federation issues as well, since cloudflare has been enabled, except for the ones that have been there before that probably have to do with the Lemmy 0.18 bug. I was really just curious, because I my last info was about Cloudflare messing with federation.
Again thank you for respecting the concerns and being transparent about them. :)
Well I've nothing more to say than thank you for your work and for providing kbin.cafe.
The blocked federation with lemmy.ml really doesn't look good. I hope that in the end of the day its a bug or similar and not the deliberate exclusion of an entire platform, that would not reflect well on the administrators there.
Thank you for providing a new kbin instance (with a cool domain name).
I noticed another small issue: The name in the top left corner is broken into 2 lines on small displays which makes the topbar way bigger. I guess an image or non-breaking-space could fix that.
There have been quite the number of bugs beyond our control with federation, which in turn have effected some of the local magazines. I've been working on a potential fix and I'm collaborating with folks in the /Kbin Matrix space to try and resolve. I'll be posting an announcement very shortly -- thank you for your understanding, and your patience.
