#Fediverse
I checked 4160 fediverse instances for their connectivity.

- A / AAAA record persent
- Reachabliltiy over #IPv6 if AAAA present.

107 Instances announce AAAA records but have broken inbound IPv6

1909 are #LegacyIP #IPv4only

2141 are #DualStack and have working inbound #IPv6

Way to go.

@goetz More than 51% have working IPv6, nice. :)
Show threadgoetzJun 15
@subnetspider At least inbound.

@goetz can you share the list, with broken v6.
Show threadBenjamin Sonntag-KingJun 15
@goetz great idea !
Will you share that list somehow ?
Also did you think to look at the assets servers too?
(Like pictures and videos of mastodon instance ) since some may use some S3 service without IPv6 support šŸ„“

@benjamin I got the list from fedidb.com.

No, so far I only checked the server domain.
But I want to further analyse with webres6.dev.sap

The tricky part is outbound IPv6.

@goetz @benjamin @internet_nl also checks for IPv6 support, and provides tooling for testing multiple domains: https://en.internet.nl/faqs/batch-and-dashboard/
Batch API and web-based dashboard

Test for modern Internet Standards IPv6, DNSSEC, HTTPS, HSTS, DMARC, DKIM, SPF, STARTTLS, DANE, RPKI and security.txt

@rickvanrooijen @goetz @benjamin @internet_nl

Interesting thread! Note that the Internet.nl test is only checking inbound and not ountbound IPv6 support. Outbound support indeed can have its own issues. For example mastodon.social does support inbound IPv6 but not outbound due to a limitiation of the Kubernetes management software that they use. See : https://mastodon.social/@rickvanrooijen/116024625573654978

Let's keep testing and asking for improvement :)

@bartknubben @rickvanrooijen @benjamin @internet_nl

Not only Mastodon.social, also Wordpress (software) is limited in this regard.
The ActivityPub Plugin, which enables Federation support, only works with IPv4 enabled ActivityPub receipents. Due to the fact that core functionality of Wordpress is currently limited/developed with IPv4 focus.

@goetz any with v6 only? šŸ˜‰
Show threadgoetzJun 15

@totentanz In this dataset only one. @goetz is my account there.

I made a feature request to @fedidb to include such checks.

@wild1145

Now if only one of the biggest ISPs in this country actually provided IPv6 transit to its customers, eh? (-:

Itā€™s time for Virgin Media to deploy IPv6!

Have Virgin Media deployed IPv6 yet?

@[email protected] wow, disappointing. Iā€™d assume a much higher #ipv6 adaption rate for such nerdy thingsā€¦
Show threadgoetzJun 16

@gyptazy
That's already 51%

Maybe on this matter, I spoke to Fediverse SaaS Providers. They don't have this by default due to reason with their Hoster.
Others due to specific things at their other Hoster.

Still way to go.

@goetz I'm curious how many of the "working IPv6" are just because they're using CloudFlare...

@kalleboo
Haven't checked this specifically.

@fediverseobserver has some stats.
But I can have a look.
