Distinguish blocking "instance communities" and "instance users"

Open Sjmarf opened this issue 1 year ago • 2 comments

Blocking an instance through the Lemmy API hides all posts made to communities on that instance. It does not prevent you from seeing posts/comments made by that instance's users to communities not on that instance.

We could provide this functionality.

Lemmy 1.0 has support for this.

Current status:

  • Lemmy < 1.0 can block an instance's communities
  • Piefed can block an instance's users
  • Lemmy 1.0 can do both

When you tap "block" on an instance, we could show a half-height sheet allowing you to choose which to block.
