you don't need to use linux to host your own instance.

your own instance

oh that's just great.

Lemmy does not have any kind of builtin "safeguards" against bots or scrapers (other than during registration, but I wouldn't call them safeguards). Some instances do use tools to slow them down or block them, such as Cloudflare or self hosted proof of work CAPTCHAs (for example Anubis, the anime girl).

While I can't say that bots are common in Lemmy, I do see a few of them in this comm and ban them every once in a while.

TL;DR: no builtin safeguards in lemmy against scrapers.

only email verification, captcha and manual approval against bots during registration

edit: clarified a few things

Servo is not a new browser engine. Have you done your research?

It has been in the works since 2012.

does anyone remember the fediverse chick

nope

one option is to wait for the next release of Lemmy (v1.0.0) and change your community into a private one, so only approved members will be able to interact with the community. This also means non members wont be able to see any posts.

Nostr is not a part of the fediverse.
