Trying to add remote community, getting an error.
Trying to add [email protected] so I can subscribe to it from this account, and I get this message:
An unexpected error has occurred
Sorry for the inconvenience! Please let us know about this, so we can repair it and make PieFed better for everyone.
I figure this is the place to do that?
You're viewing a single thread.
Trying from my personal instance i see:
400: {"error":"unknown","message":"Domain \"jolly-piefed.jomandoa.net\" is not in allowlist"} - https://hilariouschaos.com/inbox
So piefed.social may not be on that site's allow list.
Thanks for looking into this!
We need to handle this situation better. I've made an issue on codeberg to track work on it https://codeberg.org/rimu/pyfedi/issues/312
Even if piefed.social was on their allow list, we've defederated from them at our end anyway. It's a troll instance. https://gui.fediseer.com/instances/detail/hilariouschaos.com
I think that's it. I tried from my own personal single-user pyfedi instance (which has only been functionally live for a few days) and was able to load the community itself onto my instance without issue, but got the same 400 on attempting to actually join/subscribe to it as a user.
Edit: So I think they're just maintaining a white-list or something of the more well known instances, so you may need to get ahold of the admins there to ask them to add piefed.social to the list
How do I see their allow list, or if they've not allowed piefed where do I see why not?
How do I see their allow list
Probably it's a whitelist (likely to prevent trolls and such from using fly-by-night instances to spam them). That list can be viewed at https://hilariouschaos.com/instances - then click on "Allowed Instances"
or if they've not allowed piefed where do I see why not?
Unless they posted publicly in a community somewhere, you may not be able to see that - you'd have to ask them.
That said, it's likely the former - just they didn't notice piefed.social until now because it was so small compared to some of the other instances on that list.
