Is there a way to completely block users from an instance? Comments and posts? (Technical question)
Howdy, so while I'm able to block all posts from hexbear.net accounts, it seems there's no way for me to block all their comments on instances they're federated with. I'd rather not leave some of the communities that are still federated with them, but I would like to be able to block or hide all of their comments in the threads.
Is there any way to do this yet? Or do I just need to move to an instance that's defederated from them?
Connect for lemmy allows instance blocking. I don't see any posts from hexbear and their comments show as hidden unless I tap to show the contents.
Interesting, maybe I'll make the switch. I'm on sync for now, and it's in-app blocking features leave a lot to be desired
Voyager also has instance blocking if you wanna give that one a shot too.
I'm using Connect and blocked both hexbear and lemmy.ml.
It's a peaceful life.
If the goal is to block out all progressives, won't you also have to block individual users who are not of that instance, but are still active within?
Who said progressives? I said hexbear.net, huge difference
Block also lemmy.ml this is almost the same type of instance.
Hexbear is the opposite of progressive. It’s absolutely chock full of hatred of tons of groups. And they just make up shit instead of caring about facts.
AFAIK, your home server would need to be fully defederated with an instance for you to stop seeing comments from users there. Instance blocking only blocks posts from there and I think communities hosted there. Only other way is to block those users individually which is a pain.
Locking as this post violates rule 5.
