Thank you. 1. I’ll definitely check out Anubis and your configuration to see if it will work for my scenario. 2. Ok, good to know - if it’s simply a bug then that that’s fine, mostly I wanted to make sure it wasn’t an indicator that something deeper was broken or getting blocked in the communication. 3. Sorry, I used the term instance when I meant community. But it sounds like the federation is more so to bring traffic into the forum, rather then out. Did I understand that correctly? If that is the case, then I may not opt to use it - as I was originally hoping for a way to push forum content into communities. I’ll explore this further I guess - because I’m unfamiliar with relays and fedibuzz.

Overall, I appreciate the detailed response :)
