I just saw my first Hexbear post, and I am not used to seeing this level of stupid. I don't want to see any more of it.

Instance-wide blocking will be a new feature in Lemmy 0.19.

I find it slightly ironic that you got your answer from an hexbear member.

[–] juliebean@lemm.ee 25 points 2 years ago

i'm sure they're almost as tired of seeing this conversation over and over as i am.

if you are using sync, you can filter instances.

other apps do this too, like connect i think.

[–] ijeff@lemdro.id 22 points 2 years ago

You can only block individual communities right now, but apps like Sync let you filter instances from your All view.

[–] Blamemeta@lemm.ee 14 points 2 years ago (1 children)

You can't yet.

https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/pull/3869

Once thats pulled, and the master branch is updated, you should be able to.

Here's hoping that'll be quick.

[–] ikilledtheradiostar@hexbear.net 13 points 2 years ago

What did you see and what was the issue?

Can I use Greasemonkey for this? I've used Greasemonkey before, though rarely.

[–] zoe@infosec.pub 4 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

yea yea same. add each instance like this: "instance 1", "instance 2", etc.. in line 17

[–] hypelightfly@kbin.social 10 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Join an instance that's defederated is your only real option. Even if you could block the instance you can't block all the users, which is why most of the replies to your post are from hexbear users trolling.

Not sure why your admin decided to not defed despite the toxicity and hate they showed to him.

I mean, I am in Lemmy.world. Problem is it's always down.

[–] Carnelian@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

It seems to have improved significantly in the last few weeks, I haven’t had any issues on my world account. Seems a bit faster lately as well

[–] orphiebaby@lemm.ee 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

For the last two days— especially last night— it has been down for many hours each day. Last night it was so bad that I started staying in the lemm.ee instance, when before I only ever posted in here once.

[–] Carnelian@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

I believe it, it’s been pretty rocky in general. Hope everything gets resolved soon

[–] juliebean@lemm.ee 6 points 2 years ago

some clients i think have that functionality (not rightly sure which), and i know it is a planned feature for lemmy as a whole eventually, but honestly if you saw one bad post, just downvote and move on, leave a comment on it expressing your distaste, or just block the user, or the community, right? i feel like wanting to block a whole huge instance over one stupid post seems a bit over the top tbh.

[–] envis10n@lemm.ee 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

It's called scrolling and/or blocking communities.

The fact that you saw a post and immediately said "I can't deal with this! Get it out of my sight!" but didn't bother to see the solution literally at your finger tips...

Just ignore posts you don't like. If you can't deal with posts you don't like being in your feed, stop browsing All. There are so many solutions to this that don't involve completely dog piling onto people (and other communities) that did not (and don't) post the content you didn't like.

[–] JohnDClay@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 years ago

I just blocked their subs and some of their users.

[–] Windex007@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Not ideal, but some mobile apps have the feature to filter content (including comments) by instance. Connect for Lemmy has this feature.

[–] burgersc12@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 years ago

The best app imo
