Apparently there is a way to get to know the fediverse instance hosting IP even if we are behind proxy like cloudflare

https://blog.benjojo.co.uk/post/who-hosts-the-fediverse-instances

it's about activitypub protocol itself calling our real host public key to validate http signature . Is that commonly known fact and can the fediverse be improved here?

Good post. I'll be one more thing for activitypub servers to take care of: send their requests through their frontend proxy.
