Can any instance operators offer an explanation as to why federating with Mastodon from an instance not running their software tends to be more difficult?

I've noticed lately that when viewing a profile from a Mastodon instance, their post history tends to be incomplete or otherwise missing. Any posts that are made recently tend to have a significant delay or don't show up on their profile at all.

I know that you can view the content from the remote instance in question for a complete profile, that you need to do so however does seem to be a failing on the part of the server software to properly federate and populate posts.

Funny how some admins get their website on shared hosting, put it behind Cloudflare, but leave MX hostname exposed directly.

Every folk who has dealt with hosting control panels knows that 99% of such domains will have both e-mail and web server on the same host

It is easier to run e-mail servers with control panels on each node than build e-mail cluster separate from web servers - that's just how shared hosting usually is.

Cloudflare must have brilliant marketing so that people fall for it
