Blocking is done my lemmy server.
Filter is done by Sync for lemmy client. Filter is currently more flexibility.
Filtering is more flexible in some cases, but why should I filter a community instead of blocking it?
One a per Community bases I would block. End result is similar. Server vs sync client(profile).
I would really love it if the filtered list at least has the option to be added to the blocked list. Or preferably, have the option to have block in the 3 dot menu
By blocking, the thing doesnt show up on sync nor desktop, which is nice. Filtering only filters thru sync
I'd much prefer blocking to be default. I use multiple clients, so filtering isn't a good option.
