So, here’s the full error :

I’ve also been seeing this one :

As for the reverse proxy, I’m using Caddy with the configuration provided here, and it’s supposed to pass those headers by default.

The suggested curl requests work.

I wish there was a tool that could just tell what’s wrong, like https://federationtester.matrix.org/ for Matrix…

What am I looking for in the logs though ? All I see is “InboxTimeout”…

I left a comment on your server but it doesn’t seem to be federating

Oh, no ! I’ll have to look into that, thank you for noticing ! Any ideas how to debug that ?

Terribly sorry about nerd sniping you!

No problem haha, I’ve been wanting this for a while already ^^

An easy way to fast track federation is using lemmy-federate.

Interesting !

Anyway, best of luck on your blog. If you’ve questions or want to discuss, feel free to send me a message!

Thanks again !

Oh I didn’t notice your answer, yeah I figured the same, so I changed the links to lemmyverse.link instead.

Oh I see, it’s Lemmy previewing the crosspost instead of redirecting to it.

I fixed it now.

I have no idea, the documentation didn’t even warn there would be any.

I’ll keep you updated if I end up having any performance issues.
