Haha, I got it! It's not anywhere in the settings at all, lol. Like a hidden option. You have to go to the url "https://fedia.io/d/[instance domain name]", like "https://fedia.io/d/lemmy.ml". Then it will give you the ability to block, and that block will be reflected in your settings page.

Ah that makes sense then, why one highly technical person would recall (presumably correctly) that it used to work on Kbin, while another person submitted a request to add that feature for Mbin. It's nice to know that it is possible, even if not quite straightforward!:-)

I would strongly hope that the Mbin codebase is being worked on by more than just one person, who is also administering your instance. That was what caused the demise of both Kbin and Kbin.social with Ernst trying to "do it all" without letting others help. I would love to see that project succeed and provide a fully viable alternative to X and Reddit besides Mastodon and Lemmy:-).
