Hello!
I was wondering if lemmy.world has any bot restrictions / throttling behavior? I have a bot (ported from reddit) that is performing the same activities on lemmy.world and fanaticus.social, but I’m seeing different behavior: on LW posts aren’t being featured correctly and comments aren’t being added. I’m not seeing any significant configuration differences, and they are running the same code - Is there a server side explanation for this?
If you have any other suggestions for good bot lemmetiquette, I’d definitely like to hear them!
Does it support setting a proxy? An intercepting proxy with debugger features might give you the details you’re missing. https://mitmproxy.org/ is one popular/free option, though there are many others.
Mitmproxy even supports a transparent mode, though that requires more network shenanigans to set up. If an explicit proxy is supported in redball, that’s definitely easiest to configure.
