This is the way. I’m routed through cloudflare with private registration as well. The exposed IPs belong to Cloudflare and only they and I know where it goes after that.

Ah ok. So the only thing left behind really is your name which again I suppose could cause problems out in the ActivityPub world but that’s way too deep into the development of Lemmy for me so I’m only speculating. Basically my random theory is if @[email protected] is somehow tied to a particular instance ID and now that instance ID is different, I’m not sure how ActivityPub handles that or if that even matters.

Did you purge your database when you destroyed the old instance? I’m not sure how Lemmy handles instances and databases under the hood but I suppose a database from a different instance might cause problems.

Seeing you on my personal instance as well.
