When browsing popular, I’d like to only see instances that speak my language because I can’t read the posts that are made on that instance.

When I block the instance, it blocks the users too. So when a user from that instance replies to a comment, I get a notification with a link that doesn’t lead anywhere.

Is there a way to filter the instance/posts without filtering out their users too?

Tried the search function but didn’t see a post like this

    I was browsing ‘Popular’, Not ‘All’, but perhaps that doesn’t make a difference.

    You won’t get a notification with a link that doesn’t lead anywhere because there won’t BE any comments (from that instance).

    But I did get a notification and when I followed the link, it didn’t show the comment. When viewed in incognito mode, I did see the comment. That lead to me creating this thread. Was that a bug then? Should I have not received a notification at all?

      I wasn’t clear - “I’ve made it so that when” should have been “Just now I’ve made to so that when”. The notification(s) you received are from before the change.

        Oh I see! Thanks for clearing that up and the change itself. It might not be entirely what I thought would happen but it’s a solution nonetheless :) Have a great weekend!
