If you block an instance, all that instance's users - posts, comments up/down votes - disappear completely. At least that has been my experience.
Thanks, I'm not going crazy
That's super-weird. I have Hexbear blocked as a whole and I never see anything Hexbear. Likewise, I have most Lemmygrad communities blocked piecemeal (but not the instance blocked whole - yet) and ~~anything to do with those communities too are correctly disappeared.~~
EDIT: After double-checking. OP is correct
No. I chose my instance - SDF - precisely because they don't defederate with any other instance and they let users do it for themselves.
Oh damn yeah, I do:
It must be a new bug then, because it wasn't like that before. I know because I explicitely checked when I blocked Hexbear.
Also, I realize that I don't see the commenters' instance. So it's easy to miss they're from a blocked instance.
thanks i had been wondering for a few weeks how to do this.
Thanks!
As for Hexbear, I had blocked it way before their dumb-dumb moment.
FWIW I have gone back to Jerboa: it works as expected wrt blocked instances and users, but also it lets me post in Markdown - something Voyager doesn't seem to do, and I never noticed before.
Voyager blocking behaves exactly the same as in jerboa, since both let the backend do it.
As for markdown, what do you mean? Like a WYSIWYG editor? If so, Voyager prefers to write markdown directly. Fun fact: it was actually one of the main design goals of markdown!
Well, all I know is that Jerboa seems to hide comments from Hexbear dwellers while Voyager doesn't.
As for Markup, I tried posting a comment with a ~~...~~ marker in Voyager, and it showed up as ~~some text~~, whereas it correctly showed up as strikethrough text ~~some text~~ in Jerboa.
The strikethrough you posted works fine in Voyager. If something specific doesn't work, please post in [email protected] (or better yet, a GitHub issue) so I can fix. :)
Not sure what's going on with hexbear, but I doubt they block those users in app. Maybe you're using an instance that is defederated from them or something.
Kinda unrelated, but why is ur username purple ?
I'm the voyager dev and you're using the voyager app :)
Oh. The app is nice btw.
Thanks for the answer, so either I have a bug or I've blocked the wrong instance (with a close name)
Edit: I've checked, the instance is correctly spelled, I'll try clearing cache / reinstalling
