Hi guys,

We are now trying out Anubis in front of https://old.lemmy.today/ to see if we can block many of the bots scraping lemmy content.

You will notice an image saying Anubis is checking if you are a bot, and then things should work normally after that.

There are many millions of ips trying to scrape lemmy content so blocking on ip level is difficult. Hopefully this improves the situation somewhat. :)

Thanks to @db0@lemmy.dbzer0.com for sharing info about Anubis!

Anubis seems to do a good job, most of the GitLab instances I've seen outside of gitlab.com use it and I've never had any problems with it even on lower end/mobile devices. Hopefully it cuts down on the bot issues, I love using old.lemmy.today.
