Unfortunately until website owners starts being aware that IPv6 exists, you can only go IPv6-only if you have NAT64. Look at this:

From this screenshot I can see a couple instances (3 Hetzner IPs, one OVH, one DigitalOcean, one AWS and one from AS211772 (they also do have an IPv6 range announced)) that are IPv4-only. All of them could have IPv6 support but they only add the A record on their DNS records and call it a day. It is very annoying to see that.

No, but I'm only 10 days away.

Wondering what was this ISP (or ISPs) who rolled out IPv6 recently. Very nice to see.

I never hosted a Lemmy instance myself but since it's already running and nginx is listening to both protocols (you can try accessing the literal [IPv6] address in your browser, it should bring you to the default nginx page), I believe you can add the AAAA record to your domain and it should work. Don't take my word as final, though. Might ask @Ruud if that's correct.

Mildly infuriating probably because it's not their own grass

 

This is becoming better day by day. Hope other instances follows that and enables IPv6 as well.

The website just became 10x better. It loads much faster for me now because my connection doesn't need to go through layers of CGNAT, it just directly connects through IPv6. Thank you so much.

This is probably gonna be the first week where IPv6 usage on Google is gonna be above 40% for 7 days in a row (on a normal week, this already happened in December 2022)
