    When you say “block users” do you mean hiding comments from users of that instance? If so, yes.

      It’s nice not seeing .ml.

      On world id block and they’d create new accounts.

      Thanks!

        Yes for some reason the lemmy.ml devs are not keen on making Lemmy block very effectively.

      Would it be possible to get a separate option for hiding posts but not comments?

        It feels like we are already getting close to the limit of what people can cope with in terms of the complexity of blocking options. If people needed to also decide whether to apply each block to everything, only posts or only comments we’d be 3x the complexity…

          I can see how that’d be an obstacle. Thanks for the explanation.
