A certain overly sensitive instance deleted my meme so I've blocked it completely. Will it also block their community from interacting with me on other instances?

If you are on instance A and block instance B, users from instance B can still comment on your posts on C.
Thanks for the actual answer, good to know.
A bit sensitive are we? lol
I just want to avoid the mod abuse that was back in the other place. Deleting a post with 70 comments and 500 votes because you think the word, "rice" is racist is peak gobshite.

I always love things like this, where someone reveals what they did wrong, but leaves out enough context to make them seem like the victim...haha
I'm not necessarily sure whether I'm in favour of the removal or not without the whole context, so I'm not taking a side. But I can imagine why it might've been removed.
Blocking is a one-way street. You will not see anything from the user/community/instance you block; but they can still see you and interact with your stuff.
Got it, so they might respond to something and I'll never know?
Yup.
Abusive mods on lemmy? Say it ain’t so!!
On android, the boost for Lemmy app has some pretty good filters. There's some instances where I've seen nothing but negativity, and I've just filtered them out completely
If it's another instance, then probably not. The owners/admins/mods of the instance you are currently on would need to outright block the instance you have issues with. But then that would affect everyone.
Instance=Server=IP address
Yes, block means block. What else would you expect?Apparently that's only true for the admin version, I stand corrected.
If they used the native instance blocking feature to "completely block" the instance that actually only hides posts from that instance.
Users can now block instances. Similar to community blocks, it means that any posts from communities which are hosted on that instance are hidden. However the block doesn’t affect users from the blocked instance, their posts and comments can still be seen normally in other communities.
