Are bans propagated to other sites? (lemmy.ninja)

This morning I was forced to ban about 18 users for being obvious spambots. That deleted their content on my instance. Are they now banned on other instances, too? I'm just trying to figure out what the best process is for eliminating these spambots for good before they flood all of our feeds.

I bet other users who aren't admins/mods can't see the post at all when it's removed.

Yup, I'm pretty sure that's how this works. I opened the post in an incognito window, but still on my instance, and got an error message instead of the post.
