What is the exact meaning of the "Banned" label next to a user?
(sh.itjust.works)
Support / questions about Lemmy.
The user cannot vote, post or comment on that instance[^1]. If a user’s own instance bans them, then they can’t even log in.
[^1]: Due to a bug, currently the user can post & comment, but those posts & comments won’t federate beyond their own home instance.
Do you have a link to the bug?
A hacky, incomplete solution has been running for a while: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/3399
A full solution has been merged, but I don’t think it’s been released yet: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/pull/5515
It looks like it's coming with Lemmy 1.0 ^[1]^.
