Recently, there's been a pretty serious spam bot on a federated community: https://fedia.io/u/@ThuleanSneed@startrek.website...
Is anyone else finding it impossible to block anything from hexbear.net? (fedia.io)
You literally can't do it. If you try, you just get an error message. Pretty much anything from hexbear.net is unblockable. Which is really unfortunately, because it is one of the worst instances out there.
So blimey - what happened there? (kbin.social)
Kbin seemed tio take a nice long sleep there. I almost assumed it had fallen over for good. I Really hate the generic, undated 'over the next few days we are working on servers' mesesage.

Are there any kbin instances which are up to date with the source code? (kbin.social)
I know Ernest is working on getting ready to update kbin.social but are there any other instances which are faster with the bug fixes and updates?

Fedia.io now behind Fastly CDN (fedia.io)
Hello everyone. Today, I moved fedia.io behind the Fastly CDN. This should make the site consistently fast for everyone, no matter where you are in the world. It'll also help with bandwidth usage and mitigate DDoS attacks....

Start composing a reply to this thread. Did you notice you can change the size of the reply field by dragging the right bottom corner? (kbin.social)
I think that's cool. I have not discovered a limit to how large you can make the box.
What happened to embedded videos? (fedia.io)
For a while now all video threads are basically just opening a screenshot of the video when you expand them instead of opening the video itself. I noticed this both for YouTube and Catbox hosted videos and you now have to first open the thread itself, and then click on the actual link of the title to open the actual page where...

Marvel Studios 'Fantastic Four' poster unveiled, main cast revealed. (startrek.website)
Thought there may be some overlap between the F4 and Trek fandoms. I’m over the MCU overall, but as a life long F4 fan I might check this out if I hear its decent. Poster looks promising, dig the retro vibes and the team being presented as a family. Pascal seems like an odd pick for Reed Richards, but the rest of the main cast...

I have not seen an option so replying to a thread seems to be the only way that I can tell.
Issue with sort by hot (kbin.social)
This has been an issue since the beginning of Kbin tmk, but when you make a post, it won't appear under sort by hot unless it has an upvote. This means that if someone forgets to upvote their own post, it just won't appear on the default sort. There are plenty of posts I've missed because of this....

Improved Channel Select Menu 0.2.0 — Makes your subscribed magazines and liked channels more accessible (greasyfork.org)
One of my most wanted features as of late has been for the channel select menu to have my subscribed magazines and liked collections. Right now, it just contains some general feeds, but I thought it'd be super useful to also have your mags and collections there for easy access! However, given that Kbin development priorities are...

Blocked users who move instances don't stay blocked (kbin.social)
