If a user from a defederated instance comments on a community I moderate, how do I moderate the user or their comment? (lemmy.blahaj.zone)

If my account is on Blahaj and the community I moderate is on another instance like lemmy.world, and the user is from an instance we defederate from like hexbear, I won't see the hexbear user's comments (or even their user if I search for it) from my Blahaj instance, and so I don't see a way I can moderate their comments on the lemmy.world instance I moderate.

Does this seem right? Is there any workaround?

(I guess I could make an account on the same instance as the community I moderate just for moderating that instance?)

They can still comment? Wow, Lemmy needs to impliment proper blocking like mastodon has or something. It's terrible that they haven't figured this out yet.

They can't

Which is to say, it is technically possible for folks on the defederated community to post and reply to old stuff in the community that existed before defederation, but even then, it won’t reach anyone else.

Yes, that comment showed up after we commented. Still, good to know. It's still a shame that there is no actual genuine user blocking (two way) on lemmy though, so you can see why we thought that maybe they slacked in other areas too.
