I thought users could individually block comms now. For example i tried blocking lemmy.world and while ur was in place i didn’t see comments from there. Is this not the case for you?
Oh. I saw a ton of hidden comments i could not view when i blocked .world (cuz of facebook, not the lovely commenters). I thought that was because i blocked the comm they were coming from.
Sorry, to be clear I meant “block this instance” is a Lemmy feature, but “block users from a blocked instance” is likely client side. And to be clear, the web front ends are also clients. Many of them are non standard.
If you look at the description of the instance blocking, it says it doesn’t block users.
Didn’t mean to confuse things, I should have been more clear.
I had to join a defederated server after the mods sent hexbear users my way to harass he after a I reported users for harassment…
As someone no longer part of their drama, yall should defederate.

You can block an instance, but not all users from that instance. It’s essentially a “don’t see this instances posts” option.

Could be your client doing that actually, but it’s not a Lemmy feature.
I just use a browser. I dunno if it varies by insurance but it is a Lemmy feature not client-side

It definitly wasnt at the time
I think it is a recent development, in the last few months. Have a look in your settings if you haven’t yet, should be an option now
