Apparently one of the lemmy.ml admins was overzealous in banning all User-Agent strings that contained the word “bot”. Bans were entered for all of the individual strings containing that word which were observed in their webserver logs, which impacted kbin’s reported agent of “kbinBot”.

The issue has been fixed, and I observed that one of my kbin posts to a lemmy.ml community was successfully pushed to the original instance.


Edit:

Here are all the links that I’ve found with the lemmy.ml admins discussing the issue:

    Browsing any Lemmy instance is like swimming in a public pool and saying only the other half of it is filled with piss and this part is fine…

    Lemmygrad and lemmy.ml are both run by the same developers and occupied by the same users: tankies and people who are pro CCP apologists.
