I’ve been having issues with federating with lemmy.world lately. While looking at the logs I see “Domain is blocked” repeating all of the time like this:
WARN Error encountered while processing the incoming HTTP request: lemmy_server::root_span_builder: Domain is blocked
I am wondering if it’s an issue with my configuration or have they deliberately blocked my small instance? According to the “instances” view both of the instances should be federating with each other?
Been there done that. Best you can do is ask them on the Discord channel if you’re blocked by Cloudflare (their anti-DDOS firewall) and whether they can unblock your domain. My own domain accidentally triggered their Cloudflare once, mostly because I tried to use more than a service to follow them from a single IP (both via Lemmy and Pleroma/Akkoma) so it exceeded their rate
