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

16·2 days agoThat rule 4 probably refers to the instance wide rule 4, which seems to be “No Ads / Spamming.”

Money is worthless if nobody uses or believes in it.

PieFed Meta@piefed.social•Request to add TOTP 2FA authenticator support in Piefed
31·12 days agoFair.
But with the simplicity of TOTP, I would expect it whenever there is 2fa in a service. Plus passkeys are not as widely used or even known as TOTP.
Also I remember Lemmy 2FA causing some issues at the beginning, locking people out of their accounts.
Oh yes, that did happen. But it was the fault of the Lemmy devs, not because “TOTP is bad and hard”.
