The instance has been updated to the latest version of the code. For the next few hours, there might be issues with communication in the fediverse. We are working on it, and everything should return to normal shortly. I'll keep you updated.

Here's what I could find from ernest's devlog and the codeberg commit history:

  • Abandoned magazines can be taken over

  • Global/instance moderators

  • Accounts can be temporarily suspended

  • Magazine deletion

  • Comment textbox is at the top by default and can be moved

  • Magazine CSS can be disabled

  • Edited posts and comments are marked like on Reddit

  • API

  • Blocked magazines are filtered out of the dropdown when creating a new thread

  • Microblog posts can be pinned

  • Maximum character limits are displayed

  • Show Password button

  • The 'boost' text is colored when active

  • Account deletion button is more clear and obvious

  • Federation page listing defederated instances

    • Seems to not be enabled on kbin.social yet though?

  • Removed the "how to use the editor" button as it wasn't doing anything

  • Users can request their account activation email be resent

  • Users can customize the site's CSS in their settings

  • New option to disable avatars in comments

  • Improved email styling

  • Robots.txt (policy for search engine crawlers and chatgpt)

Thank you. From the post at first I thought it was a maintenance patch, it is strange to receive appreciable new features but without even an announcement with a brief summary of the most notable ones.
