That’s not how federation on Lemmy works. Blocking an instance doesn’t block the users of the instance, at least not right now or by default. Maybe don’t call people morons when you’re the one that doesn’t know how something works?
I primarily browse Lemmy through communities I subscribe to on Mastodon or Misskey, so blocking instances does get rid of everyone on an instance. That’s just stupid, it should work the way it does on Mastodon and Misskey and actually block the instance.
Well, you’re still morons, for using such a janky website among other reasons, so don’t expect me to take it back!
That makes you a moron too since you’re using “such a janky website” just like us, right?! You’re posting via a Lemmy account to a Lemmy instance, afterall. The federation rules apply the same whether you browse via Mastadon or not. It’s apps that differ.
I use and test just about every single ActivityPub instance. For Lemmy you need accounts that post and can reply to anything, and others that block everything. I do not receive Lemmy posts through the jank frontend you describe. I use RSS which allows regular expression filtering out users from instances I want to mute, and Misskey and Mastodon which actually mute entire instances and languages.
