Calculating which posts/comments to hide based on blocklist sounds to me like something that could be appropriate to do client-side, so that users with long lists are the ones paying for the computation their choices required.

Another quirk of Lemmy to watch out for.
Later developments discussed in the post would indicate i have inadvertently induced you in error.
Thatβs okay you donβt have to like everyone.
it's not about that ... it's the fact that the administrator of lemmy(dot)world explained there is no limit at 250 in the user block list but rather that it must have been a CloudFlare problem that they have resolved ...
I'm over 200 blocked now. It would be nice to have that site maintenance idea working to clear out my list. I'll have to remember when I hit the limit.
@MrKaplan, administrator of Lemmy(dot)World, answered my wrong(?) post here ...
My post would make users believe there is a hard limit in Lemmy at something like 250 entries for the block list. This is what i thought while creating the post ... but further analysis by the administrator revealed the problem could be with CloudFlare.
Please take the time to read the thread to this effect somewhere inside this post.
Very weird. I can't see MrKaplan's post unless I logout, but he isn't in my blocklist. Maybe he's blocking me? I don't really know how the blocks work. Weird, but not a big deal.
You will see posts and comments of anyone who would be blocking you ... it works only one way. ~~The problem is, I am quite sure, that instances do not synchronize properly~~
... canβt see MrKaplanβs post unless I logout
You see them fom : sopuli.xyz but not when you are loged in there ? ? ?
... I must agree this is a really weird one !
I probably messed up something somewhere. And, yep, I can't see MrKaplan at sopuli.xyz, but if I open in a different container tab where I'm not logged in, still sopuli.xyz, I see the posts. It's not just MrKaplan, but really it happens on most pages. I'll see number of comments, but I can only see one or two. It's been like that for a long time, I just can't be bothered to figure it out. Β―\(γ)/Β―.
while it would likely be a good idea to limit this, i don't see a limit in the code that would prevent from blocking more users. what's the actual error message you're seeing?
i didn't have any error message but even if i clicked repeatedly on "block user", i did not get the pop up message saying :
"user_X is blocked"
... and when checking it, in my block list, (user x) was not added to the block list
there is a possibility that this was caused by a cloudflare rule that was not scoped narrowly enough to achieve what it's intended for. does this issue still persist for you?
No. As soon as i started removing entries from that list i could again put more entries (maybe it is a coincidence) in the list.
might still have been related, i guess we'll never know.
the rule i changed did look like it had some false positives at least, so even if it wasn't that it should fix issues that could have been experienced by others randomly.
Thanks for researching this and thanks for maintaining the instance "Lemmy(dot)World".
As for optimization and code improvement ... i believe it will come in time as programmers and administrators are able to improve things ...
See you around ππ
P.S. : added [solved] flare to title
Update :
it happens again (blocking user fail without message) but this time i see that the user account doesn't exist when i try to open the user account :
https://lemmy.world/u/bartlebees
bad taste post :
https://lemmy.world/post/25406359
Maybe this is what happened last time ?
P.S. : strangely the page for this account doesn't show the user is banned, but instead shows error message :
The server returned this error: unknown.
could be that it's the same thing, in this case it's the result of a user deleting their account.
Let me check who I've blocked.......0 users. Who are you interacting with that your feather get so ruffled???
At your convenience i will provide here a list of banned and empty accounts where every posts were removed by mods ... or dead and nasty (publicity ?) accounts ...
How many of them do you want ?

Lost_My_Mind doesn't really have an internal filter and just kinda skirts along the surface of life focusing on pop culture. Don't take them too seriously. They're pretty oblivious. And generally happy. Ignorance being bliss and all.
i read and liked many of their comments since many months and they would notice i did not block them otherwise i couldn't have answer to their comment π
Sometimes it's nice to just see pleasant weirdos on here. Have a good rest of your weekend.
Thanks, same to you, take care π
