Upgraded to Mbin v1.8.0! (kbin.earth)

It brings an extensive bookmarking system, signup request support, signup notifications, extended markdown rendering, custom notification settings to set magazines, users, threads and microblogs to default, loud or muted, setting a default sort for the front page and comment lists, a new image delete command for admins and documentation changes.

See this thread for a detailed review of the update: https://gehirneimer.de/m/mbinReleases/t/486586

As a reminder, if you'd like to help support the kbin.earth instance financially, there are a few donation links in the about page.

Also, for those who use Interstellar, expect an update sometime soon that will utilize some of these new features. Unfortunately, there is a bug in the Mbin API that will not let me add custom notification settings controls quite yet to Interstellar, but bookmarking in the app will be supported.

kbin.earth federation problems fixed (kbin.earth)

Recently, I've noticed federated threads/comments/votes were lagging behind, and it turns out kbin.earth was being spammed (hundreds in a minute, leading to a couple thousand queued messages after only half an hour) by a Lemmy server with the same exact activity pub message. After blocking the server (feddit.de), federation should now work correctly. If the admins of the server ever fix the issue, I'll be glad to unblock it.

Edit: turns out, this was probably actually a kbin issue, but at least it's fixed the issues temporarily.
