The censoring is a local setting, meaning the actual data in the database is untouched. It’s only being censored at user level. But yes, any instance being viewed though that instance’s web app is being censored.
There may be an option to turn it off. Look in your user settings.

I understand that. But does it apply to other instances you’re reading as well? Does it censor other instances for you?
Yes. Any instance you’re reading through your own instance’s web app.
So if I’m registered on Lemmy.ml, and have censoring turned on, and then browse to kbin via Lemmy.ml, the data from kbin will also be censored.
To drive the point home, I am registered on kbin. Kbin doesn’t have this feature. I can see everything posted here perfectly uncensored.
Interesting. Thanks for the info!
