Why is is such an issue for Kbin relative to Lemmy (like lemmy.world etc)? Are the larger Lemmy instances better funded or have better mod recruitment or is it a geographical thing?
/kbin speaks ActivityPub but is an entirely different software stack. It has some big bugs with federation (specifically around admin actions like spam removal).
The primary instance (kbin.social) also doesn’t have a very good team of mods/admins keeping up with the influx of spam.
Lemmy was about two years old when the reddit exodus happened, whereas /kbin had only been around for about a month. Its sole developer/admin is very overwhelmed just trying to keep everything running (and trying to, you know, live).
The project needs help, but I don’t think Ernest has enough trustworthy people in his circle to delegate responsibilities.

Developers truly are the most selfish breed of bastard.
I don’t know, but 90% of the spam I see is from new accounts on Kbin.
I’m all for diversity in the Fediverse, but something’s not working right over there.
Mod actions don’t federate over so even if it’s removed over there we still see it on Lemmy.
