IIRC that only blocks communities from that instance, not users.
Instance blocking is dependent on client implementation, as it isn’t provided by lemmy itself.
edit: no longer the case
Lemmy has it since Version 0.19.0 as a native feature: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/commit/50f81cf1573c8a37e9b35c28af92f95e453a7927.
Huh, neat
I think you are correct, but not having the opportunity to participate in a thread on those instances because you can't see them anymore is part of the ways to avoid troubles.
