Blocking instances (a suggestion)

I'm coming from kbin. It used to be that when I blocked an instance, I wouldn't see any posts or comments from users on that instance.

Here, I blocked an instance, and I still see comments from users from that instance. Is it possible to change this and make so that their posts/comments are hidden?

Only if the instance blocks the instance.
Do you mean blocking a domain? So navigating to /d/domain_to:block? If you do: that block all posts that have a url linking to kbin. Since comments do not link to anything they will not be blocked by this. If you want a feature like this, please consider making an issue over on github in the mbin repo
- It definitely does not block threads from those instances showing up. For example I have lemmy.ml blocked that way and I still get the occasional lemmy.ml threads pop up and have to manually block all the different communities on that instance.
  
  Thats why I meant threads linking to the url. It has nothing to do with a users home instance...
That did not work for me on either kbin nor mbin.
