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?

    I remember reading somewhere that bans are federated, if you have a look in the instance modlog (bottom of every page?) you should find out who banned that user, why they were banned, and which instance they were banned from

    I don’t run a lemmy instance (yet?) so this is just based on looking at existing discussions
