Vote if you like, but the primary reason I’m posting this is because this community has been linked as a reddit alternative in the post.
Welcome gamers! You do not need an account on kbin.social to post here. Pick any Kbin or Lemmy server (lemmygrad and lemmy.ml are not recommended), make an account, and type @guildwars2@kbin.social in the search bar to get here.
Consider subscribing to /c/guildwars2@lemmy.wtf as well if you’re able. There’s been some odd bugs getting their posts, hopefully that’s ironed out. These projects are still somewhat early in development, but have a promising future!
Also: consider searching #GuildWars2 to see even more discussion from the wider network. If you have any questions about federated social media, please ask them below :D
As far as I understand you are both using Cloudflare and I assume that the Cloudflare Challange only hits incoming connections, but I have no practical experience with Cloudflare myself.
Anyway, when both
lemmy.wtfas well askbin.socialare using Cloudflare, then traffic is always incoming via Cloudflare whenever those instances are trying to communicate/federate with each other.I’ve found posts which suggest to exclude certain paths/URLs from bot detection thereby suppressing the Challenge when a bot does what a bot is supposed to do, but there also appears to be an Essentially off setting which one could try temporarily to see whether this solves the issue.
Looks like
kbin.social’s IP is registered on Cloudflare’s DNS servers, but the IP belongs to Fastly.Maybe running a lemmy or kbin instance behind Cloudflare isn’t such a good idea after all. Apart from communication problems like federation not working properly there are some serious privacy concerns or rather running federated network traffic through a centralized US based network service kinda contradicts the whole fediverse idea.
