If you ban a Mastodon user on a Lemmy community, does the ban transfer if they migrate instances?

I doubt it specifically because when joining a new instance you’re making a new account.

Are you trying to ban individual users for individual reasons? Or are you trying to ban all mastodon users?

specific users

Then no. If they migrate, thats a new account technically.

Migrating changes the account completely. There’s a connection between the two, if the person chooses to do it that way, but they don’t federate as the same account.

So you’d have to ban the new account as well.
