Thanks for the detailed explanation and suggestion!

I just checked, they do send user agent to lemmy server.

For example

    final appVersion = getCurrentVersion(removeInternalBuildNumber: true, trimV: true);
    return {
      'User-Agent': 'Thunder/$appVersion',
      'Content-Type': 'application/json',
      'Accept': 'application/json',
      if (account.jwt != null) 'Authorization': 'Bearer ${account.jwt}',

Bots can easily fake their user agents, so using them to detect bots is not enough and mostly just puts regular users’ privacy at risk.

Yes that would be an alternative. But I’m looking for a more user friendly client that could achieve the goal.

To be honest, this is a very specific method, and I don’t know which problem we’re facing. So this might as well be some A-B problem. So what are you trying to achieve?

user agent is not essential for the servers, server does not need to know which client or device I am using. So I don’t want any server to fingerprint users.

Could you explain the use case?

user agent is not essential for the servers, server does not need to know which client or device I am using.

Now that AIs are flooding the instances, some admins are blocking these kinds of requests.

What AI request?
