Instance blocking no longer works? (lemmynsfw.com)

I blocked hexbear a long time ago, on my mtgzone and .world accounts, and recently I've seen posts from there on those accounts as if I hadn't.

Unsure if this is an app issue or platform issue. Are there caps to the size of block lists? I don't see a count for instance blocks, but I've blocked over 1000 communities.

Instance blocking only blocks communities on the instance, not the users. If a user from the blocked instance posts to another instance you don't have blocked, you still see the user.

That said, I have also noticed USERS I have blocked getting unblocked recently, and they are not simply on an alternate account.

I thought blocking an instance hides all of the communities on that instance? That's what I'm trying to achieve

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 0 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Yeah, it should be blocking the communities. Are you seeing the communities or just users of the instance?

Example: clicking this highlighted link, then refreshing the page, I still see the post in question

It would be a nice feature to have to be able to block all users from an instance.

That can be toggled by going into the block list in Settings. I can't link to it but the option is near the top of the block list.

It looks like that option is missing from lemmy.world:
