I blocked someone on instagram because i dont want to see her existence anymore. But even tho i blocked her i can still see her likes and comments on my sisters pictures. How can i change this?

Hi Kim, unfortunately it's not possible. This person has the right to follow other people and comment freely on their pictures, blocking someone will only prevent them from seeing your posts or interacting with you.
