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.

Are they banned from a community that you follow?

I haven't checked that specifically, but that seems plausible. Do users banned from communities get federated with the community?

Yes, bans on a community are federated, so your copy of the community also removes their content.
