For me at least, for months now, this instance is unavailable for multiple hours a day. Given the recent posts about the lemmy eco system being on a slight downwards trend, I don't think this additional load is caused by more users using this instance. Rather, I think that AI scrapers are using this instance to scrape lemmy. If I am correct, though only someone with access to the logs can check, I'd like to kindly ask for some sort of protection from AI scrapers. Both because I like being able to actually browse the instance and because I hate AI companies.

Will that fix all the timeout issues sh.itjust.works has had?

The hope is that yes, it would.
