Comment on Lemmy's gaining popularity, so I thought new people should see this.
givesomefucks@lemmy.world 2 days agobut that doesn’t block those users on them to be fair. That has to be done individually.
It blocks notifications of replies.
Sometimes I’ll notice a .ml responded to me, and if they seem decent I’ll reply back. But I’ll never get a notification and that’s almost always as far as it goes.
Which is fine. Lots of people can make one civil comment to rope someone in a conversation.

You will lose that ability as soon as Lemmy.world upgrades past 0.19.3. My instance likewise had 0.19.3 until like a week ago, and ever since it “upgraded” to 0.19.5, I get notifications now from users from blocked instances. The developers of Lemmy seem adamant that people are not allowed to ban whole entire instances, which I find… ironic for… reasons:-).
