Hello! I recently got https://globe.pub up and running and I’d like to get it federated with other instances.

My https://globe.pub/instances page shows that globe.pub can talk to other instances, but it doesn’t seem to be pulling in their full metadata properly – the Software or Version columns are entirely empty.

I am receiving some posts from other communities (see attached photo), but only three of them are sending posts my way at all. For any other communities, I am unable to view posts, even when I navigate to them manually, and I do not see any of their posts in my All feed.

I have no communities in my whitelist or blacklist, so my server should be configured to openly federate.

Does anyone know what might be going wrong here? What debugging tips should I try next to diagnose this issue?

    If you are getting pending to every server you try, your proxy (typically nginx) config might be the problem. You should maybe try some of the curl test to federation endpoints from an outside box and see if something isn’t blocking the connection.

      Thanks, I am pretty sure you have uncovered my problem! I am not properly reverse proxying requests with the Accept: application/activity+json header (docs). I will configure this now.
