Lemmy.ml is blocking all requests from /kbin Instances ( kbin.social )

Specifically, a 403 'access denied' is returned when the user agent contains "kbinBot" anywhere in the string.

No need to get on the high horse just yet. This is much more likely to be a sever/sync issue than some kind of shadowy conspiracy.
