I could totally be wrong, but I think muting is just the terminology Boost uses for blocking - I had a bunch of sublemmys blocked in Thunder and they were listed as muted already when I first installed Boost
Boost has options for both muting and blocking instances. I know that block utilises lemmy's features as it will sync with blocked communities/users that you do outside of boost.
Mute I'm fairly sure is boost specific as muting won't sync outside of boost, and there is an option to mute instances. Until lemmy 19.0 (currently at 18.x), there isn't a built in way to block instances so that must be something boost does on its own.
Thank you for clarifying!
