I don't disagree that could be tried, but I just doubt they would change that rule just for kbin, compared to kbin changing it from /media/ to anything else like /media/hash/ and avoiding the problem. I have to imagine most users of the fediverse use ublock and use the default lists

I believe you should be able to run it all locally without a hostname. The guides for doing so are here, depending on how you want to:
https://codeberg.org/Kbin/kbin-core/wiki/Admin-Bare-Metal-Guide
https://codeberg.org/Kbin/kbin-core/wiki/Admin-Docker-Guide
Someone just went through this themselves in the matrix kbin development channel so you could also potentially find help there if you're having issues. One thing that came up during that is https://codeberg.org/Kbin/kbin-core/pulls/132 has a bunch of changes to those docs which might make it easier
@HarkMahlberg I assumed it was a default ublock rule and not one you added so I imagine a lot of people might run into this. Well, "a lot" depending on how often a filename's sha256 hash starts with ad. At the very least it's probably good to know about it, even if nothing is changed. But perhaps there's enough reason to use a different system to name image caches like the name generators a lot of image hosters seem to use. I guess it's in the devs hands now :) thanks for sharing it
@HarkMahlberg I would consider adding a bug for this to the issue tracker as it seems like a gotcha https://codeberg.org/Kbin/kbin-core/issues
The issue is here https://codeberg.org/Kbin/kbin-core/issues/1019. It was fixed with a PR but I don't believe that PR has made it to kbin.social yet
I certainly wasn't trying to counter your post in any way or anything (especially as a non-kbin.social user), just provide information for people who might not be aware. kbin.social users basically have to see all of their posts with no way to interact or exchange with the other party, giving them little options. And for people who are unaware of this, they might be replying to their users in hopes of discussion or debate that will never happen
One thing to keep in mind is they don't federate with kbin.social; so they can't see your posts or replies, and can't reply to you. I believe your upvotes won't federate (maybe to other instances, but not to theirs at least). Downvotes work the same as they do for any other post as those don't federate in kbin to begin with. One-sided federation in the fediverse seems like it can be a bit confusing to users, I'm not sure in what case it's a good idea in since it can be like talking to a void.
Just to follow up on this KES has a magazine https://kbin.social/m/enhancement with install instructions. If you're able to use addons with how you browse kbin, you can rearrange it using this under Threads -> Rearrange post order. The suggested order has the reply box at the top
That page should be https://kbin.social/sub/microblog but I see cacheson also says they have issues with it. I only see people I follow there, but I guess it does show posts from magazines I subscribe to as well, it just must be rare for the magazines I sub to to get (microblog) posts rather than threads. Perhaps for people that subscribe to magazines with common hashtags it might be worse.
This goes up to 120 days:

I do rarely see it on other kbins. Honestly kind of surprising considering kbin has no API. Not that it's super difficult to do some headless browser automation but it sort of seems like whoeever is doing it must be super dedicated to targeting kbin.
Do you mostly see it on m/random or other magazines? I've seen it elsewhere but it mostly seems to be from there. I kind of don't quite see the point in allowing threads / microblogs to be made from a local kbin instance to m/random. Threads especially, at least. I sort of am thinking it might be nice if m/random was locked from local posting so you had to file it under a magazine with moderators, but spam bots would likely just make their own magazines or spam others and that wouldn't really solve the problem.
