What does "ban" mean if I'm posting to another instance? (I'm using photon) (redlemmy.com)

  1. As the owner of Redlemmy.com, I create a post in a community on Lemmy.world.
  2. Bob responds to my post
  3. In that post I see mod actions, "ban from community (instance only)" - does that mean he's banned from a community on redlemmy.com, or lemmy.world?

If I ban bob, I can still see his comment. I'm logged into my instance with my mod account, and I'm viewing the discussion.. he has a banned icon next to his name, but I can still see it

yes, because removing the comment and banning the user are independent mod actions

Good answer, thanks. I was asking themoonisacheese about what they said because they mentioned that the comment wouldn't be visible anymore, that's why I needed more information. But I appreciate you supplying it for them.

It might also be because you're an admin, and thus have local moderator powers everywhere.
