FAQ
How long does it take for my instance to show up on farside.link?
The deployed Farside site is updated every 24 hours. So it could take up to 24 hours.
What's the difference between services-full.json and services.json?
services-full.json contains all of the instances. services.json is the same list but with services proxied by Cloudflare removed.
My instance isn't showing up sometimes. Why?
Your instance is probably being rate limited. Farside checks your instance every 5 minutes and removes you from the list if you are being rate-limited.
