MODERATORS
 

... still i can see their replies.

important clarification

since replies here are confusing things up : i don't want to block users ... only communities from that instance (...and only because their moderation is biased).

original titleDo you have this ? Since my account is blocking Lemmy.ml, i do not get notified for replies of users from there


... maybe that original title was confusing ?

I don't think you can use Lemmy's user-level Instance blocks for what you want. The assumption is that if you're blocking an Instance, you don't want to see either the communities or the people. There's a bit of compromise happening that appeases the majority: you can't block the replies from physically existing, but you can at least prevent being notified of them.

It might be better not to use the Instance block, and individually block all ml's communities. This would be ball-ache to do by hand, but is scriptable via the API (you'd just have to rerun your script occasionally to catch newly-created communities)

Blocking all these communities would be difficult for the user but also it would create more load on the server which i don't want to do.

Hmmm. Well short of running your own server and hacking away at whatever platform it's running, I think you're looking at a Feature Request for Lemmy devs (for an option to be included with blocking Instances, to hide/show reply notifications from that instance's users)
