Dear admins,

I see that feddit has adopted Anubis for bot protection. I'm glad it was chosen instead of Cloudflare (or some other invasive service).

However, having to wait for the Anubis check before I can use the site is annoying, especially when I'm already logged in. And it happens multiple times per day, amplifying the feeling that my time is being wasted.

Will you please consider skipping the Anubis check when my browser already has a valid login cookie?

Thank you.

It however stores sessions it has “seen” for 12h

Wow; that's surprisingly short. That means I get hit with Anubis at least six times a day when I use three browsers, and eight times a day when I use four. I often do switch between devices throughout the day, so I think this explains it.

If it can't be made login-aware, how about extending the session time to 24 or 48 hours? That would at least reduce the continual annoyances that some of us are now experiencing.
