Instance blocking no longer works? (lemmynsfw.com)

I blocked hexbear a long time ago, on my mtgzone and .world accounts, and recently I've seen posts from there on those accounts as if I hadn't.

Unsure if this is an app issue or platform issue. Are there caps to the size of block lists? I don't see a count for instance blocks, but I've blocked over 1000 communities.

Yeah, it should be blocking the communities. Are you seeing the communities or just users of the instance?

Example: clicking this highlighted link, then refreshing the page, I still see the post in question

I've noticed this too and it seems to appear under certain conditions that I haven't figured out. It is infrequent but I think it's loading the "default" feed and that seems to disregard instance blocking. I've noticed this with only All but that's mostly what I view so perhaps it could affect other feeds.
