In maintaining my Lemmy blocklist, I noticed that I was unable to block the thunder@lemmy.world community, despite it seemingly existing if I look for it on lemmy.world directly.

As it doesn’t load when accessed via this instance (lemmy.dbzer0.com/c/thunder@lemmy.world), has it been defederated?

    Sorry, i don’t know. @db0@lemmy.dbzer0.com can you answer?

    Although i am curious, why are you trying to block a community that is removed here? Interested to hear your answer.

      To maximize the value of my All feed, I preemptively block communities whose posts I don’t think I’ll find interesting, minimizing how much All feed scrolling I end up needing to do.

      While I don’t need to block communities that are already instance-blocked, I’d still rather they not clutter the app’s Lemmy Explorer feed, hence why I had asked the developer to filter out communities from blocked instances. If it’s possible to tell which communities are blocked at the instance level, I’m hoping that the Arctic developer can extend the current filtering to communities blocked at the instance level to de-clutter the Lemmy Explorer list further.
