Lemmy’s user-level “instance block” does not block the instance though, i.e. it blocks neither users nor content from the instance, e.g. Lemmy still pings you if a user from that instance replies to your content in communities located on another instance. It would have been better named as a “community mute” instead, as all it blocks are the communities located on those instances (regardless of the origination of the post itself).
