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:

    …then far as I’m concerned, they can ride it back out of here wet.

    This was the most anachronistic American Southwestern burn I’ve yet seen on any internet comment thread to date. I can nearly hear the spitoon at the end.

    I know it sounds like I’m making fun of it, but I genuinely am not. Marvelous
