I’ve not been banned myself, I’m just curious.

Is it akin to getting banned from every community on the instance, but the users profile is still visible from accounts on that instance?

Or is it akin to the user getting entirely “defederated” from the instance they were banned from?

I did get that, I just don't understand as to why that's happening; maybe a federation error?

All I know is that instance defederation on lemmy has a similar error. Sometimes communities are still visible as “artifacts” (not often though).

For example blahaj defederated from lemmygrad one year ago, but I can still view !ukraine_war_news@lemmygrad.ml (but posts from after the defederation don’t show up)

And for example I can still see posts and comments from @yogthos@lemmygrad.ml before defederation.

Huh in that case I wonder if both instance and defederation works by sort of pausing/suspending the new content updates.

Sort of like how Newpipe works is that new content could be available on your home/sub feed but won't show up unless explicitly updated (by swiping down). Although for this analogy to work, banning would be equivalent to a filter/block in Voyager although it'll only work for newer content?🤔

That's my new guess anyways, not sure if it'll help!😅🤗

I think you’re onto something with that :)
