Bot Posting Issue on .world? (self.support)

Hi :)

A couple of days ago I set up a bot account on lemm.ee using the Lemmy Mega Bot code. This bot grabs an RSS feed and posts new items from it lemmy.world/c/metal - there's never more than 2 a day.

Today it failed to post anything at all. I checked the logs and there was an error I didn't fully understand so I talked to the author of the script. They suggested that this could be happening if .world had set up a Cloudflare challenge script (due to the ddos attacks), so I'd just like to confirm if that is the case and .world is using a Cloudflare challenge?

Thanks!

Given this, you might just be seeing the generic cloudflare page for when a server can't respond right now.

OK. Well, that's fair enough. I totally get why .world need to use CF right now. I'll just wait it out.
