Hundreds of requests to comment URLs from Pleroma and Akkoma

[janboddez]

I was fooling around a bit, trying to better assess my site's performance, and then noticed, in NGINX's access logs, that I receive hundreds of GET requests from Pleroma and Akkoma instances whenever I use my main Mastodon account to boost or reply to a comment.

And it's all the same instances (from actual followers of my Mastodon account) and all the same GET requests (for the one specific comment I was interacting with).

Was wondering if this is known behavior, if maybe these servers are incompatible with /?c=1234 URLs, or if there's something else we could do?

My server seems to respond with a 200, and when I myself do curl -H "Accept: application/activity+json" http://example.org/?c=1234, let's say, I get properly formatted (I think :-D) JSON. And clicking the link sends me to the correct post and #comment-1234, so that part, too, looks like it's working fine.

Might have to introduce some rate limiting or something otherwise ...
