If I block a community, just for example - say I wanted to block syncforlemmy@lemmy.world. Would I use "filter" or "block?" I am having a hard time discerning the two.
I get that blocking something like lemmy.world would block the users comments and such as well.

Filter is local (app only). Block is global (app and web).

Excellent, thanks for the answer. Block it is!

This is actually a good question. If I had to guess, I would think it would be that filtering will prevent that community showing in your feed. Blocking it might also prevent notifications like comment replies or something like that.
