I can block individual communities, but I wanna block everything from hexbear.
You can block full instances via a PC. I generally surf lemmy using Boost and I wasn’t able to do on my phone.
But go to your settings>blocked>instances and type in the instances you want to block.
Also fair warning, you’re most likely about to get brigaded by both instances
Mobile Web too.
What’s important to note is it blocks all the subs from that instinance, but not posts those users make to other instances.
And you’ll still see all their comments, but you won’t get notified if someone from those instances reply to you. You can still see them and reply back, but you won’t be notified
It’s better off blocking users one by one because of all the people with alts. Cut their head off and two more grow in it’s place
Nah, I blocked .ml, hilariouschaos, and a couple other troll instances.
Worked out great so far, I’ve even thought of blocking some of the “dead” instances because that’s where troll accounts usually come from.
The main issue is accidentally stumbling into a sub on their instance, anywhere else and mods/admins can step in.
But there is zero reason to ever comment or even see a post made on those instances, because the worst users on them are the mods/admins.
So you just stop going to their house where they make the rules.
Boost has that option under settings>filters & blocks>muted instances. You have to type in the instance address but it worked for me at least.
