hexbear just decided to federate with shi.itjust.works so before you were only seeing content specifically posted on instances that federate with both, like lemmy.ml, now you’re actually seeing posts made to their comms

So all will be half hexbear from now on? I might need to switch instances to one that’s defederated or stop using all. These are obnoxious.

I heard this new instance called reddit.com is defederated from us, why don’t you join them?

Because their content is trash now, all the good posters are over here. I think .world defeded with you? Or .ml? Anyway I guess that’s a positive now.

just block their comms it’s pretty easy tbh they’ve only got like 50 of them max and of those probably only 20 are super active so it shouldn’t be that hard

Yeah I’ll do that. Thanks. If they start new ones though it will be annoying.

It’s only this thread that made me learn comm means community. I always assumed it had to mean something like communications and I was wondering how one would block that.

Thanks to the lemmy libs, I guess!

You can literally block the community. Or use your finger to scroll past it. No one is forcing you to engage with posts. Does it hurt being that dumb?

Your instance has a ton of communities and we can’t blocked instances yet. But I’ll see how many and probably just block the communities.
