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.
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.
