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!

Glad to see it working. Strange though, it seems not all comments here are federating to us. Only this chain federated

Oh, that's weird. They did federate to me, so it's not completely broken

Lemmy federation has been known to be buggy in certain releases before, and I really dont know what to do about it except try to keep up to date about bugs. I guess its a complex system underneath. From what ive read, its a queue of federation work that is supposed to take place, and stay in the queue until its successful. But I wish there was a good way to see the status of it.

I have been looking in db tables and log files before to figure out the current status and it works, but its not so convenient.

Yes this is what's weird. There shouldn't be a reason why some actions didn't federate.
