Thank you, I'll see if the Mbin developers know anything about this.

The comments were visible, I just didn't get notifications until several hours later.

Just to clarify, your issue is that you saw new comments show up in the thread (while browsing with kbin.earth), but that the notifications were delayed? Or were the comments not showing up at all, and they only appeared on kbin.earth a few hours after they were originally written?

Update: notifications are coming but with a lag of several hours

Fabulous, thank you!

Thank you!

Thanks JWR1, feature to block instances is nice. cheers!

Searching for anything on Lemmygrad returns nothing.

ETA: i posted about this issue over there, and it's not showing as a crosspost or related, either.

I've sent a second DM.

A different Cloudflare experience at another different host returned Host Error: site was down.

I tested the function on the same* browser by using the Ecosia browser. It's definitely cloudflare, which is a privacy nightmare.

I dm'd an example of improper federation (comments not federating). Sorry, it seems it's going to be piecemeal.

You're welcome, I will screenshot it next time. Thank you, as well.

If you run into this issue again, please add a comment with the details about the search here. Then I will try to debug it.
Also thanks for reporting it so far.

My apologies, but I don't really remember exact search strings, I was looking to see what USA and allies were up to, as far as war and statements about those regions. I just tried user names or a few keywords of post titles I recalled while scrolling on the fly when I didn't really have time to rta/comment or both. I believe the instances were either .ml, .zip, and maybe a couple of others, but when I went to the original instances, found them again without much difficulty, if any.

To debug search could you provide me with a specific search string you used with the form, the first few results it returned and some results you expected to show up (for example by searching on a Lemmy instance and linking to the threads)?

Hi, thanks so much for quickly addressing my post, and also* your great work!

Or is it just the notifications which appear late (we currently have problems with the notification processing)?

That may be it, I've seen notifications appear, disappear, be delayed, then when I tapped, discovered they were posted a day or some hours earlier.

Searches were for news about Iran, Lebanon, Syria, Morocco, other African nations, Latin America.

Comments not properly federating

Do you mean federating in or out? Or is it just the notifications which appear late (we currently have problems with the notification processing)?

searches for topics recently mentioned on other instances not showing up, despite not being defederated

Can you give an example search and what you expect to be returned so that we can check what is happening?

Awesome, thanks!

Yup, go for it! The issue should be resolved for now.

Noticed the banner isn't up anymore. Are microblogs usable again or should we still refrain until you post an update?

That may sound preferable to clicking every square containing a traffic light, but it also means Cloudflare is gathering a much broader picture of how visitors behave on a website.

Alright.

I have considered it in the past, but there are a number of reasons I am still using Cloudflare.

Just wondering if you've considered Anubis rather than cloudflare?
