Websites are getting hammered by AI bots stealing content and jacking up their bandwidth usage. So they use a piece of software called Anubis which, for some reason, has a cartoon nurse that will grant or deny you access based on if she thinks you are human or AI. For some reason, she thinks I am AI so I can’t access the article.
I’m having the same issue on Android. For me, switching to desktop mode to load the Anubis check then back to mobile mode so the website is usable again worked.
Weird, the cartoon doesn’t want to let me through. Something about an iPhone running lemmy pisses off anubus.
cartoon? Anubis? What?
(I’ve never used an iPhone in my life)

Or for some reason you are an AI that thinks it’s a person.

To be fair, the link’s just to git comments, so the headline captures the main point.
That’s weird. Works for me both through the embedded browser in Voyager and Safari directly (with adblocker enabled)
