Hmmm, we're getting a fuckload of web requests on our Lemmy too... I think I'll enable CloudFlare too! :)
Just make sure you do your research before you do - people have broken federation by enabling it without due care in the past.
Any links regarding this? It sounds concerning and my instance admin uses Cloudflare as well.
If your instance uses Cloudflare, then you have nothing to worry about, as your admin clearly has federation working. You wouldn't be posting here if they didn't.
That seems troublesome. Is it more of an issue with Cloudflare or just improper configuration by the instance admin?
I would assume improper configurations on the part of the admin. I've never tried setting up Lemmy, but if I had to take a wild guess people aren't configuring the SSL right and other instances aren't talking to them because the domain on the cert is wrong.
