This doesn’t seem to be an app setting but something lemmy.word is filtering. What’s the point of hiding but not blocking, and why this filter at all?

I heard Lemmy modding is “open”, so is there some way to track and see why something like this is done?

Edit: see comments, it was actually an app setting but not something I changed/applied myself.

    If you are using the connect app, this is because you blocked the reddthat instance. You can access your settings to see blocked instances/communities/users.

      I checked again and you’re right! I was looking under the filters heading but there’s a separate block list heading.

      I didn’t actively block reddthat but I accidentally setup an account name and deleted and replaced it…I think deleting the account might have added reddthat to the block list, maybe?

        Same happened with me. I blocked an instance without realizing. My guess is that it’s either a bug when block instance was being implemented or I just stumbled on the wrong option, since they are close to each other.

        You might want to edit your original post to correct this, then.

      I wish there was a way to still see comments from those that you blocked, I don’t care about those. I just don’t want to see posts from blocked instances on my feed

    I ran into this just now.

    I had blocked feddit.de, because I don’t speak German and didn’t want to see German posts in my feed. It turns out that it blocks comments from the instance as well, so I’m going to un-block it and go back to manually filtering communities as they pop up.

      Does anyone know how language filters work? I know you can set a language for your post and you can set what languages to see posts in, but is there like an instance-wide default language setting? Or a community setting? This wouldn’t be a problem if german-speaking feddit communities were set to have German as the default language of their posts.

    Bumping because I’m also curious.
