I wanted to participate in multiple posts on other instances but when I pulled them up, only the posts themselves and none of their comments would federate/show here in my account. Is this a normal experience of this server? This didn’t seem to be a problem in the past, from what I can remember…

    Midwest.social doesn’t seem to have any bot protection (Cloudflare captcha or Aunbis etc), so you are probably getting slammed with bots scraping for LLM training 😟

    I just wanted to check to see if you were still running in to this problem? I currently am, specifically with posts in Texas@lemmy.world

      It took me almost half a minute to pull even just this up on the same server! And then maybe 2-3x that duration just to read responses to my own comments…
