Spam and porn are flooding kbin already (kbin.social)

There is a substantial amount of spam and NSFW posts on the All page coming through already. Most NSFW posts aren't being tagged as such and are coming right through. I am not sure how this can be weathered but we need something in place fairly soon, I feel like we are days away from rivers of bad stuff, especially via some of the federated instances.

EDIT: I personally don't care much about the NSFW aspect, more in the lines of what a newcomer will be seeing when they get to the main page. 99% of the newcomers don't know / care about federation and have no idea how to turn that off. Liability for the server owner is also an element of consideration.

This is, weirdly, apparently a federation bug. Lemmy instances (namely lemmynsfw.com) I've found tag their posts appropriately and I've only ever seen a single post that wasn't tagged correctly (and it was very mild might I add), despite browsing all new and all topDay. I suspect kbin isn't pulling the nsfw tag correctly and most posts end up as clear.
