Broken federation due to CloudFlare?

It looks like right now NodeBB instances are unable to query anything from aussie.zone because of the CloudFlare bot protection.

Could this be adjusted to allow ActivityPub-style requests through?

    Just come across this myself.

    Long-running fediverse instances will likely have old copies of established aussie.zone actors, but federation will be broke for newer instances and/or newer actors.

    Verifiable by doing something like:

    WORKS:   
    curl --header 'accept: application/activity+json' https://reddthat.com/u/lodion
    
    DOESN'T WORK:   
    curl --header 'accept: application/activity+json' https://aussie.zone/u/lodion
    
    

    I chose reddthat.com because it seems like it has similar protection, but allows for AP requests. (other instances use non-CF solutions, but I imagine they’ve had to make similar tweaks).

    It’s been a couple of days, so it might be worth some pings:
