When I try to filter a non-English language post I鈥檝e found that frequently the instance I wanted blocked is not what鈥檚 added to my block list.
For example, when I try to block the following instance it鈥檚 adding mastedon.social instead of OP鈥檚 instance lemmy.eco.br: https://mastodon.social/users/ademir_lemmy_br/statuses/112058841341083344
The domain of the link is mastodon social though, the comment may have been made on a community hosted on eco.br but the user is from Mastodon. What you want is a user or status block not an instance block.
No, I鈥檓 pretty sure I want to block the instance that鈥檚 shown at the top of the post in it鈥檚 entirety.
When I hit block instance I expect to block the instance of the post I鈥檓 viewing from the user on eco.br.
Also, I really wish there an Undo link on the little banner at the bottom in case I block an instance on accident. In fact, all of the blocking actions with that banner should have an Undo function.
But the link in the post is to a status from mastodon.social, so if you just go on that link and say block instance the domain it鈥檚 on is not the Lemmy site. You should be able to go into blocked instances manually and add lemmy.eco.br there though.
Under settings you can add it there directly.
