Yeah, I agree with the point about dairy being bad, and it's one that's easy to make without objectifying women.
"other females"
Then you can just block the user agent in nginx or whatever you use, like all the other AI scrapers who ignore robots.txt (*cough* Amazon)
Sounds like a Jerboa issue.
On the site, they’re taking ages to load
Lemmy-ui does that if you've been logged in for a while sometimes. Try clearing your browser cache/data for feddit.uk.
