October: kbin.social planned technical outage - /kbin meta - kbin.social

This week (at the latest at the beginning of next week), there will be a several-hour technical break. A banner with detailed information about this will appear 24 hours before the planned work....

Does a technical break mean a downtime for system maintenance? Will there be any fixes or enhancements?

Thanks for all you hard work, Ernest.

Ernest has previously said that this will be an upgrade to address several issues, such as those related to federation, spam and lack of moderation tools.
Do we know if API implementation will be part of it yet?
I don't recall Ernest explicitly saying so, but the API is live on the artemis.camp instance, so hopefully it's in a state where it can be implemented as part of the core kbin code base. Perhaps the kbin codeberg can shed further light on this question.
kbin-core

/kbin is a decentralized content aggregator and microblogging platform running on the Fediverse network.

Codeberg.org
API is part of the kbin code base (on latest develop branch). For example https://kbin.melroy.org also have API enabled. But kbin.social is still not upgraded until this day.
