Banned Users showing up on my instance... (hakbox.social)

Hi,

My instance has been running for a day or so. In that time, three users have randomly shown up on my admin panel as Banned. There are no pending applications. What exactly are those users doing?

My first instinct was it was an issue with emails and signup as I didn't have email working properly at first, so I unbanned all three users. 🤷‍♂️

Was that a mistake? What does it mean? What could be causing it?

Yeah, I don't know either, but I "re-banned" them on my instance with a comment of why they were previously banned and by who.

I would think that even if the ban audit log shows up on our individual instances, we would not be able to unban them on the other instance as we aren't admins there.

This feels like a display bug in the lemmy-ui.

There's an issue already in place for this, but the Devs are currently focussed on finishing up a big rework of how the UI is implemented to help with load issues, so I wouldn't expect it to change straight away.

That is good to hear, because the observed behavior does feel like a bug.
