      I block hundreds of forums because mbin is incapable(?)¹ of blocking whole instances. But I did not block !dabradio@feddit.uk. In fact, I subscribed to that community before posting. I only block 1 user, likely spam, not the person who replied in the thread.

      I can only imagine that there is a serious bug. I say serious because nothing is worse than an author being deceived into believing their post will be seen by the person they reply to, and an OP who is silently denied visibility to replies which they may never discover existed.

      feddit.uk blocks tor, which I use. But I don’t imagine that could impede fedia.io from caching feddit.uk posts when fedia.io is not using a Tor exit node IP (AFAIK).

      ¹ In mbin settings, there is a Blocked » Domains tab, which is empty. I would like to know how to populate that.

        If the blocking was not the issue then I don’t know what else can be happening.

        The domain block list for link posts if you find a post that links for example to a news site you can click on the post menu “More” and “More from domain”. And from there on the sidebar you can find the option to block that certain subdomain (for example “new.reddit.com”). But this kind of blocking doesn’t work for text posts coming from other instances, I mean you can’t block instances through it.
