Is there an issue with federation right now? (pawb.social)

The only new posts that are coming up are from lemmit.online, or posts from a couple Mastodon users. This is the last exception I could find. Checking lemmy.world shows there should be new posts coming in, but they're not showing up.

Update: Turns out a security feature we enabled to block "AI Bots" (like ChatGPT) was blocking federation traffic... Since it's affecting stuff right now, I've disabled it again until I can get time after LVFC to take a look into building a comprehensive "allow list" of different federation traffic headers.

tl;dr Give it a little bit and things should hopefully catch up with new posts, but I don't know if Lemmy post-syncs old posts without someone searching for them on our instance.

Thanks for fixing it!
