I’m coming from kbin. It used to be that when I blocked an instance, I wouldn’t see any posts or comments from users on that instance.

Here, I blocked an instance, and I still see comments from users from that instance. Is it possible to change this and make so that their posts/comments are hidden?

    It definitely does not block threads from those instances showing up. For example I have lemmy.ml blocked that way and I still get the occasional lemmy.ml threads pop up and have to manually block all the different communities on that instance.

        That makes no sense to me. Imagine blocking users would work the same way and it would just remove links to their profile, but not the stuff the account posts.

          Think of it this way: there is currently no way to block an instance from a users perspective, there simple isn’t (and yes we should add one). What blocking a domain is for: I hate everything the guardian posts, I don’t want to see anything talking about that.
