I can block individual communities, but I wanna block everything from hexbear.
Feel ya, every now and then I do find an interesting conversation on both, but most of the time its just annoying spam at best.
There’s nothing quite like freebasing bulllshit tho
You can block instances in Voyager. I don’t know if it blocks everything though, like comments from a blocked instance account etc.
Settings shortcut: Filters > Instance filters
Is this the one?
You can also block the instance at the account settings level (Blocks tab). That way you will not see posts from these instances on both the webUI and mobile apps.
Sadly it doesn’t have a toggle to block comments and post from users of these instances made on communities outside of these blocked instances
Mine doesn’t have @ signs. This might be easier to do in the lemmy web UI than within Sync. When you start typing an instance name, it will pop up a list of matches that you can click, so you don’t have to worry about typos or syntax.
The best way is to make an account on a server that doesn’t federate with them. Sh.itjust.works, lemmy.world, and most other large servers are defederated from hexbear and lemmygrad.ml.
Apparently lemmy.cafe is defederated from those as well as lemmy.ml. Be aware that a good chunk of major communities are hosted in lemmy.ml, so you won’t be able to access those if you’re defederated.
Unfortunately even if you block them, you will still see posts and comments that users from that server make on external communities. It’s only by being fully defederated that you won’t be able to see any of their content at all.
Sh.itjust.works is not defederated from hexbear lol. I can speak from experience that they still show up everywhere.
Yeah I guess that’s true, they are defederated from us but technically we aren’t defederated from them. But they still can’t see anything that SJW users post or participate in our communities. And same for lemmy.world, etc.
So you only really see them when they comment on lemmy.ml communities for the most part. There are a lot of lemmy.ml sublemmies to be fair.
Thank you. I’m currently on lemme and it’s a good instance. I guess I should hop over to lemmy.world if they already defederated them.
Lemm.ee is a really good server but if hexbear and lemmygrad annoy you, then it’s not the right fit for you.
