@alex I tried to fetch https://www.threads.net/ap/users/mosseri from my other instance public.mitra.social and received a pingback from facebookexternalua. Is it possible that they block mitra.social but not public.mitra.social? Seems unlikely. I think their federation client may simply give up after several unsuccessful federation attempts.

@silverpill I don't know why they would target mitra.social. Does mitra.social have any requests from their user-agent historically? I have 0 from servers that don't work, which means no attempts were ever made.
silverpill

@alex Yes, mitra.social had incoming requests from facebookexternalua, but at some point they stopped and I can't trigger them anymore

@silverpill That's weird. That's different from my problem. That means you got blocked after they saw your traffic. Versus blocked up-front.
silverpill

@alex Yeah, and now I'm getting 429's from their server. The other instance (public.mitra.social) federates normally.

@silverpill Use ngrok to host it on a different domain temporarily, and I bet you it will work.
silverpill

@alex Sure. If they won't unblock me that is what I'm going to do
