Yes, but images and other files are hosted on the instance itself, so any pictures embedded in posts will not be visible.

Do I misunderstand how federation works, or should a block like that not do anything unless your home instance is hosted in that particular country? The instances communicate with each other, not directly with the users. It’s similar to viewing blocked content through a VPN.

You understand it correctly. The problem is i can’t see anything other than the text of their posts/comments. Posts with images, i wouldn’t be able to see the image.

Instances have a choice to enable a new Lemmy feature that will proxy all images through the local instance. Whilst your instance may not do that today it may do in the future. Or you could move to an instance that has this enabled. I don’t know how to list instances with it enabled but it should be obvious by the URL used by images when viewed from an instance.

Yeah, i’ve heard of it. But the only instance i know with it is lemmy.ml and, well. It’s lemmy.ml. Besides, i like lemm.ee, if i have to use a VPN for it, i guess i have to.
But thank you for the advice!

Ah, right. Media is still hosted on its instance. Didn’t consider that. Bummer :/
