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!

It's not great but I guess it's required. Maybe just required for the initial check and then it can be turned off? Didn't try...

Tried it, yes it works this way.
