if you were not aware, you can block the instance without de-federation
Blocking the hexbear.net lemmy.ml & lemmygrad.ml will make Lemmy a much better day to day experience
Beehaw's still on 0.18.4 and from a post I saw a while back, isn't planning to go beyond that. So user-level instance blocking isn't an option there, unfortunately.
Instance blocking also only blocks posts; you'll still see the users from there in the comments. So it's nice, but doesn't go quite far enough; you still have to block obnoxious accounts manually/individually.
Oh, good to know. Thanks
Yeah, I block anyone from Hexbear without even reading their comments.
Blocking instances is equivalent to blocking all communities on that instance - so that means you'll still see comments from users on that instance and the users on those instances will still have an influence on your feed via voting.
Just pointing out that letting users block instances individually is not necessarily the desired solution.
Thanks for the reminder; always forget that's an option. Luckily Beehaw already defederated from Hexbear and lemmygrad.
