so for like maybe two months ive been trying to figure out why minds doesn't see our replies and we like never see any minds shit on poast so I figured while I wait for a pint to chill I'd look into it.
what happened was exactly as it was intended to work, but the reason it worked is absolutely retarded.
we have safeguards in place to mitigate ddos and one of them is filtering multiple requests from a single origin IP with multiple user agents. what minds does is proxy their users fetching poast media behind minds.com IPs but forwards their user agent to poast, so poast's security filtered them and have kept them filtered
this has been rectified. you should see minds people coming in soon hopefully.
there is no fix on our part besides allowing minds to bypass this security. the fix is not forwarding your users user agents
