When I block an instance, does it also block comments of users of those instances on other instances? (lemmy.world)

No. I have hexbear blocked, but I still see their users. It will block posts from that instance, however.

Ok perfect, that's what I was hoping!

It used to stop you from getting notifications of replies but still seeing them.

Now you get replies, which isn't exactly a good thing, if I block a whole instance it's because their users are insufferable

I think those should be two independent features. My main reason for blocking instances is so I can browse All without getting posts in languages I don't understand. If they respond in English to an English post I'd like to see it.

I have been wondering that myself for a while now...

I'm seeing tons of "No comments" despite there being comments... sometimes dozens kd comments aren't there....
