The Discourse app on Android is experiencing a connection issue with the “Tecnoblog Comunidade” community. When trying to connect, an error screen appears with the message “param is missing or the value is empty: public_key”. markcon reports that this issue only occurs with this specific community, while connections to other forums work normally. supermathie suspects a Cloudflare problem, as they experience the same result. To resolve the issue, supermathie recommends that the administrators of “Tecnoblog Comunidade” check their Cloudflare setup and consider temporarily disabling it to confirm the theory. They can refer to the best practices guide at https://meta.discourse.org/t/using-discourse-with-cloudflare-best-practices/293405?u=supermathie.
I am trying to connect the “Tecnoblog Comunidade” to the Discourse app on Android 14, but when I click the button to connect the community within the Discourse app, an error screen appears, and I don’t know how to fix it.
Error: “{“errors”:[“param is missing or the value is empty: public_key”]}”
Community: https://comunidade.tecnoblog.net
Does this happen when you try to connect any other forum?
Only with this community is the error happening; when I try to connect to others, it works normally.
This is possibly a Cloudflare problem.
(I get the same result btw)
Is there any solution on the way? It would be great to use it in the Discourse app, and it seems like it’s only happening with this community, @supermathie @sam
It’s best to get in touch with the administrators of “Tecnoblog Comunidade” - the problem is likely with their Cloudflare setup. Feel free to direct them to Using Discourse with Cloudflare: Best Practices.
If they can temporarily disable Cloudflare and successfully add the site to Hub with it off, that’ll confirm the theory.
Closing since the problem here needs to be fixed by the admins of Tecnoblog Comunidade. Looks like something in their setup is stripping parameters from requests.
