Check the user's extension. He's on ML posting to a discussion on WORLD. It makes perfect sense because unless the instance admins specifically block an instance then any instance's users can post to any other instance community. That's what Federation means. We're all on individual instances that create a larger connected whole. That's why the instance the user picks decides what they can post and where to.
Sorry to be that guy, but for clarity I believe at least for Lemmy that describes a blacklist configuration. Other option is similar where no instances are federated unless explicitly added to a white list like hexbear (?)
That is plausible but defeats the entire point of Federation in the first place. It makes sense for Hexbear to control the narrative their viewers see, though.
