Idk but I blocked like a dozen of them or so and they just disappeared. They have a few always-online users that you should just block when they pop up.

Yeah, I have blocked hexbear & numerous weird gay/fetish porn communities. Make sure you're logged in. Click on the post & navigate to the community....then...towards the top before all the posts, there's a bunch of options. One being to 'block'. I have to scroll to find it.

Block their ass
It should be noted I use Sync for Lemmy. You may or may not have this on your render/UI. Should be able to block.

With sync for lemmy you can block instances by adding it to the instances filter.
No way yet, but it's supposed to be coming. In the mean time, if you block the major comms you'll probably remove about 90% of the hexbear posts from your feed.

Not that I know of, but it should be added in for those who don't want to interact with people from Hexbear. If people have the freedom to block an instance for themselves it would expand the decentralization that Lemmy is built on, since people don't have to move to those instances to block out Hexbear.
I've read that blocking the Hexbear domain is a solution to this, but that isn't a proper solution, since those who aren't tech-literate would have a pretty hard time doing that, so a first-party solution would be the best.
