Hexbear users incoming in 3.2.1...
I use a client that can block instances, so I have all of Hexbear blocked. It radically improves the Lemmy experience.
Tell me your wisdom, duck of the lake.
I use a Violentmonkey script to do so
Whats the client?
Sync let's you do it. Also possibly Connect? I forgot the other one, but i think it might be Connect.
Yes, connect lets you block instances, but it still shows that there was a comment there and lets you show it. It's handy to see how much you're blocking.
Kbin allows users to do this (noting kbin isn't a client it's a compatible platform).
Memmy app let’s you do it as well.
I am using Eternity or Voyager, I will be so happy when instance blocking comes to those.
Connect does instance blocking and I think LiftOff does as well.
I just.tried Liftoff and i did not see that option
Give Memmy a try. I switched to it so I could block entire instances. It’s made my feed so much better!
Thanks for the recommendation, but I'm on Android, so I can't use it. On spezit I loved, and supported Infinity, the Infinity fork Eternity is very good. I love having my own colour theme, it's great for qol, and all the other nice features it has.
Sync is an outstanding Lemmy client for Android.
Apologies! I should have mentioned it was for iOS.
No worries at all
Thankfully, OP is from an instance that has not federated with Hexbear. Hexbear users won't be able to see this post.
But they have posted to .ml which is federated with hexbear. So the poster's instance needs to be federated no the instance of the community where the post is?
You need both. For a comment you even need the community instance, the poster instance, and the commenter instance to all be federated
That’s confusing.
Basically, everybody needs to agree before access is granted.
It is the best way to block spammers and trolls.
