There is one user from another instance that I have Blocked, but their comments still show up in posts. I have tried unblocking and blocking them again, and their posts are hidden on their profile when blocked. Examples below are seeing their comment, clicking on their name, and seeing that they are already blocked. This is the only user where this is the case, and I’ve blocked their name and instance (not lemmy.world) but can provide it on request.
Blocking instances doesn’t block the users from that instance. It only blocks the communities/posts on those instances.
If you actually blocked just the user, then IDK. From the text it makes it sound like you blocked the instance itself, tho.
Yeah, I know. This was a case of a single user who was blocked, but showing posts external to lemmy.world (my instance) but successfully blocking on the home instance. MrKaplan looked into it and there was a sync issue with their instance and the user had duplicate records at lemmy.world so I had to block both.
Interesting… Now I am wondering if some of the blocked users I’ve been seeing again is because of that same problem and not just because I switched apps recently. I was under the impression that perhaps my block list was specific to Jerboa and not actually added to my Lemmy profile universally.
When I did a search by user in settings after MrKaplan’s reply I saw they were listed twice with the same instance/name. Added the second one too and now there are two Blocked entries and all comments blocked.
