TBH, I find the search feature on the block instances on your profile tab useful, HOWEVER, it shouldn't require the instance to exist or show up in search. It should let me put in any string. Just in case search is broken somehow.
I just don't know what blocked means then. It looks like I can see hexbear communities, probably comment on the, and even subscribe to them. But I guess they can't comment in programming.dev communities or see our stuff?
hexbear is defederated, which is basically a firewall block
you can comment on content that was previously copied to our instance yes, but your comment won't get mirrored over to hexbear, and they can't see it or reply either
I believe you also can't see their newer content. I'm still subscribed to a community in hexbear from before my server blocked it but the last post I can see in it is from before the block.
