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.
If you are using the connect app, this is because you blocked the reddthat instance. You can access your settings to see blocked instances/communities/users.
I checked again and you’re right! I was looking under the filters heading but there’s a separate block list heading.
I didn’t actively block reddthat but I accidentally setup an account name and deleted and replaced it…I think deleting the account might have added reddthat to the block list, maybe?

You might want to edit your original post to correct this, then.
Same happened with me. I blocked an instance without realizing. My guess is that it’s either a bug when block instance was being implemented or I just stumbled on the wrong option, since they are close to each other.
I wish there was a way to still see comments from those that you blocked, I don’t care about those. I just don’t want to see posts from blocked instances on my feed
Agreed
Hi Connect dev here. That’s coming soon (or out now if you’re on the beta).
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.
Bumping because I’m also curious.
