Anonymous access to infosec.pub is disabled temporarily (infosec.pub)

Scrapers are getting so bad that the lemmy containers are falling over, so I've disabled anonymous access to allow legit users to continue using the service. I will work on improving filtering so I can reenable anonymous access. Apologies for the inconvenience.

Just curious, is this what is preventing our communities from being shown on things like lemmyverse.net?

for example, searching for cybersecurity communities there doesn't show ours, at least for me.

I think it is because I disabled anonymous access due to the AI scrapers continuously causing the instance to crash. I just reenabled anonymous access which should allow it to be indexed by those sites, but it may cause some instability
