Did it? lemmy.ml is still federated with those instances.
I appreciate being federated, it gives me a chance to down vote them.
Which counts for nothing
Block the instance.
That's an app specific feature, lemmy doesn't actually naively do that. And the app I prefer doesn't have it yet.
Apparently my instance disables downvoting...
That's the only real downside. I just hope user-based ignore/block function for instances instead of just communities would become a thing.
It already is on Connect? I blocked both instances, so no posts from either show in my feed and comments from users on those instances on other posts appear as "blocked by an instance filter," which you can choose to show it if you want
I meant in the account, not a third party app.
