If I personally block a user, can I still see their posts in a community I moderate? (lemmy.world)

I banned a subscriber from one of my communities today for repeatedly breaking the rules. I also blocked them because I find them aggressive and argumentative and I’m not here for that personally. But what happens when their ban from the community ends and they decide to post in the community again? Will I still see their posts as mod? Will I only see them if someone reports them for breaking the rules again? Do I need to unblock users in order to moderate my community properly? Thanks!

I don’t. On safari iOS and chrome on MacBook I click the three dots and see this:

There’s only the option to block or report, not remove or ban. I tried it on more than one comment. Interestingly I am given ban and remove options on the Lemmios app:

These are using the same account, viewing the same thread on the same community. Maybe it’s a lemmy.world problem?

it must be a lemmy.wold thing. each instance does things a little bit differently, but, hey, at least you found a shortcut with the app!
