Only noticing on sh.itjust.works recently. If I scroll down to the bottom of page, try to go to the next, it hangs up, sometimes doesn't load, on firefox mobile & desktop browsers.

Just a heads-up.

You're probably right, mander.xyz was terrible a week ago. Bringing it up somehow got them to find an issue so I thought it worth mentioning.

    For mander.xyz it has been bot scrapers. That time that you are mentioning it was scraping via the onion front end that I am hosting for easier access over Tor. Yesterday an army of bots scraping via Alibaba cloud servers made the server unusable for a few minutes. The instance would receive a bunch of requests from the same IP range (47.79.0.0/16), and denying that full IP range fixed the problem.

    Some instances implement anti-bot measures. For example, https://sopuli.xyz/ makes use of Anubis. I think that instances behind Cloudfare get some protection too. I am considering using Anubis for mander.xyz, but for now I have just been dealing with this manually as it does not happen too often.
