Why is the API giving me a 403 Forbidden? (lemmy.ml)

I'm toying about with writing a client in Rust.

Example code online uses the API endpoint https://lemmy.ml/api/v3/post/list, and when I go to this link in a browser, it doe indeed load data. However, when I try to load it from a program, it gives me a 403 Forbidden. Does anyone know why this could be?

Can you run the code against another instance, and curl https://lemmy.ml/api/v3/post/list?

Strange, you're right, it does seem to work when I run it on lemmy.world instead
