I noticed that a lot of the posts from Lemmy.World are showing with few or no votes, and often no comments. Going to the actual post shows votes and comments.
It happens. Appreciate the effort! I noticed a marked uptick in the lemmit bot mirroring Reddit, so I wonder if it was a coincidence or a sibling effort.
Limitations
You cannot bypass or skip Bot Fight Mode using the Skip action in WAF custom rules or using Page Rules. Skip, Bypass, and Allow actions apply to rules or rulesets running on the Ruleset Engine. While Super Bot Fight Mode rules are implemented in the Ruleset Engine, Bot Fight Mode checks are not. This is why you can skip Super Bot Fight Mode, but not Bot Fight Mode. If you need to skip Bot Fight Mode, consider using Super Bot Fight Mode.
It's like they tried to make that confusing to read.
Possibly, as it's one generic endpoint, but it also blocked a few other things people in the fediverse created, which are mighty helpful in diagnosis of these and other issues.
So using some AI model or whatever CF uses is probably not going to be the best thing for us as it classified a POST request as a crawler?? 🤷
I'd have to whitelist every regular endpoint as well and then it gets messy as CF only gives you so much control as a free user.
So, for the moment I've blocked the most annoying ones based on UserAgent.
