I've recently added anubis to lemmy.ml, and it seems to be working well.

I have a PR to add anubis to lemmy-ansible (our main installation method), and I could use some help tweaking / optimizing its botPolicy.yaml config, for federated services.

Anyone with experience running anubis, this would be much appreciated.

https://lemmy.nz/ and https://quokk.au/ are running Anubis, and so those admins may be able to offer insight :)

Do we have an equivalent service on lemmy.ca? (I don't know anything about net security and am just curious)

We are not running Anubis, although we do block a large number of AI/LLM companies through IP addresses. Each time we block a new one, it makes a noticeable difference in the performance graphs.

I regularly encounter images not loading from quock.au. No idea if they've got that under control now but that is the most visible issue every instance fights with. Gonna be great when we have a recommended configuration for Lemmy.

Yep, essentially the botPolicy.yaml there could be a collectively developed anubis config, based on what works best.
