For some reason this @dinotoyblog post doesn't seem to be federating (any idea why not @pfefferle?) so I'm sharing it manually: https://dinotoyblog.com/hallucigenia-plush-by-zhongxin-made/
Plush Hallucigenia, with many arms for many cuddles! The long 'neck', if you can call it a neck, and small head, is reminiscent of a sauropod dinosaur.
We'll review the Plushtodon Mastodon mascot one of these days... it technically counts as a prehistoric animal toy!
@AdamStuartSmith @dinotoyblog do you block other sites, to crawl your images or to embed them?

@pfefferle @dinotoyblog Aha, I recently turned on some anti-bot settings in Cloudflare because I've been having content scraped and stolen. See image. That's probably it?
But curiously, the most recent DinoToyBlog post (an hour ago) *did* federate to Mastodon, including an image (https://sauropods.win/@dinotoyblog@dinotoyblog.com/114013219987885906), despite the Cloudflare settings still being active.
Thanks for the reply and assistance! 
@pfefferle @dinotoyblog I also have Cloudflare's Hotlink Protection enabled, but I've had that on for years without any apparent problem (on Mastodon anyway).
Update:
That one post that wasn't federating on Mastodon appeared when I turned off bot security, so good call!
I turned off Cloudflare's Hotlink Protection and the federated images appeared on Pixelfed, but only up to 52 weeks ago (a year exactly). More recent posts do not appear, why would that be?
Unless there's a workaround, I guess this all means I need to decide what's more important to me, security or smooth federation.
@pfefferle Even with all those Cloudflare settings turned off, new posts are not federating to Pixelfed, while they are federating to Mastodon. Any idea what could be the difference?
@AdamStuartSmith do you have an example link?
@AdamStuartSmith can't find anything broken: https://browser.pub/https%3A%2F%2Fdinotoyblog.com%2Fpalaeoscincus-imperial%2F
Thanks, yeah. So odd then that the feed on Pixelfed seems to have died 52 weeks ago. See screenshot.
I don't know if it's related but sometimes some auto-inserted content appears in the federated posts on Mastodon (see content in red box in screenshot), and sometimes it doesn't. In fact usually it doesn't, and I notice it doesn't in the post at your link, so I presume that's the norm. This content is inserted using an Ad Inserter plugin after every excerpt. I can raise this on the WP plugin support page it it's easier.
