   @AdamStuartSmith @dinotoyblog do you block other sites, to crawl your images or to embed them?

     @AdamStuartSmith do you have an example link?

     @pfefferle Even with all those Cloudflare settings turned off, new posts are not federating to Pixelfed, while they are federating to Mastodon. Any idea what could be the difference?

     Update:

     That one post that wasn't federating on Mastodon appeared when I turned off bot security, so good call!

     I turned off Cloudflare's Hotlink Protection and the federated images appeared on Pixelfed, but only up to 52 weeks ago (a year exactly). More recent posts do not appear, why would that be?

     Unless there's a workaround, I guess this all means I need to decide what's more important to me, security or smooth federation.

     @pfefferle @dinotoyblog I also have Cloudflare's Hotlink Protection enabled, but I've had that on for years without any apparent problem (on Mastodon anyway).

     @pfefferle @dinotoyblog Aha, I recently turned on some anti-bot settings in Cloudflare because I've been having content scraped and stolen. See image. That's probably it?

     But curiously, the most recent DinoToyBlog post (an hour ago) *did* federate to Mastodon, including an image (https://sauropods.win/@dinotoyblog@dinotoyblog.com/114013219987885906), despite the Cloudflare settings still being active.

     Thanks for the reply and assistance! 🙏
