@tom I am seeing a lot of spam from kbin.social and, digging into it, it looks like there’s a bug in kbin so that moderation decisions don’t federate properly.
L.W have already blocked their communities (rather than defederate them, as some instances have done) and it’s only going to become a bigger issue - discussion of L.W’s decision in the link.
sovietknuckles, 
it looks like there’s a bug in kbin so that moderation decisions don’t federate properly.
The Kbin issue: codeberg.org/Kbin/kbin-core/issues/570
It affects Mbin instances, too: github.com/MbinOrg/mbin/issues/248
Emperor, 
We’re monitoring the situation. It’s been quite quiet from kbin.social for a while. If/when it kicks off we’ll examine our options and we have more tools available than we previously did.
Flax_vert, Please no :( I enjoy many kbin communities
Emperor, It would only be a temporary measure until the bug is fixed. I follow plenty of kbin communities, which is why I am seeing so much spam.
FelipeFelop, According to developers chat, the KBIN devs will ensure that moderation federates by the end of September.
clara, we haven’t seen tom in 2 months :(
i hope he’s ok
Emperor, He did update Lemmy to 0.18.4 a few weeks back, so he is around but it’s been the end of the summer holidays and that is a pretty hectic time.
However, with only one Admin it’s enough to make one a little nervous.
FelipeFelop, Just to add, if feddit.uk is using Docker then it will auto update to the latest/stable release.
There’s been no reply to messages so I think it’s safe to say that he has other things to do. Hopefully he’s okay.
Emperor, Just to add, if feddit.uk is using Docker then it will auto update to the latest/stable release.
Don’t think it is because the upgrade to 0.18.3 was quite delayed and L.W definitely upgraded to 0.18.4 a few days before we got it.
FelipeFelop, As I understand it, the ability to do the auto update (technically latest) can in with 0.18.3
Also, it runs as a schedule so wouldn’t necessarily happen at the same time as other instances. Plus there are other methods of installing.
Can’t be certain of course but given other instances didn’t realise they were now updating automatically I think it’s possible.
