This doesn't seem to be an app setting but something lemmy.word is filtering. What's the point of hiding but not blocking, and why this filter at all?

I heard Lemmy modding is "open", so is there some way to track and see why something like this is done?

Edit: see comments, it was actually an app setting but not something I changed/applied myself.

I ran into this just now.

I had blocked feddit.de, because I don't speak German and didn't want to see German posts in my feed. It turns out that it blocks comments from the instance as well, so I'm going to un-block it and go back to manually filtering communities as they pop up.

Does anyone know how language filters work? I know you can set a language for your post and you can set what languages to see posts in, but is there like an instance-wide default language setting? Or a community setting? This wouldn't be a problem if german-speaking feddit communities were set to have German as the default language of their posts.
