Are bans propagated to other sites? (lemmy.ninja)

This morning I was forced to ban about 18 users for being obvious spambots. That deleted their content on my instance. Are they now banned on other instances, too? I'm just trying to figure out what the best process is for eliminating these spambots for good before they flood all of our feeds.

no, think about what that would imply. Anyone could practicaly delete any other profile by creating an instance and banning that profile on that instance. That would be insane.

User bans do federate. https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/1298

how can a user comment from another instance?

my user on lemmy.ml cannot login on other instances, or can it?
