Blocking on a user level kinda sucks. When you're in a conversation you expect to be participating in the same conversation as everyone else, not to be blind to half of what is going on.

Doesn't that happen when instances defederate too? You discuss something on Lemm.ee, hexbear users comment, but LW users don't see what they are saying, while lemm.ee users do

I think it's based on which Instance the community is on. If it's on lemm.ee you might be right. If it's on LW, they won't even see it to be able to comment.

But that's what blocking supposed to mean. You refuse communication with specific user/instance and that's it, it's a bit extreme to demand everyone to participate with your ban just so your feed will looks consistent. You might not encounter the problem when you're in an instance that defed with them, but it will be the same when you went to another instance that still federated with them.

Just so we're all participating in the same conversation, yes. Yeah, I agree it's extreme, but sometimes it's called for.

I'm pretty happy with lemmy.world's federation at the moment.
