Silverseren,

I can just hit the cross out button on Kbin. Pretty easy and simple to do. Lemmy doesn't have anything like that?

I’m in the same boat 🥴

dutchkimble,

If you’re on android, use sync and block instances you don’t like

Judgy_McJudgerson,

I’m using Memmy and there’s an option in the settings to block a specific instance or an instance with key words.

timespace,

What did you find out about hexbear?

Not OP, but from what I can tell it's a Communist/Leftist instance heavy on the shitposting. Hard to tell what there is ironic and what isn't, but I guess if you really hate Tankies it wouldn't be your favorite instance.

KyuubiNoKitsune,

Yeah, I noticed posts from it last night and looked around, it’s… Confusing, I don’t really understand their position even after reading their description.

all-knight-party,

I thought their position is "America bad"

freamon,

I just looked, and I think it’d be more accurate to call it a Neo-Bolshevik cesspit.

(I don’t know what those words mean)

FuckyWucky,

instantly knew which one you were talking about just from the title

TwistyLex,

Memmy has a broken implementation of instance filtering that currently needs to be configured on every startup, but it exists. Hopefully it will eventually be meaningfully functional. Precisely for the instance you mentioned.

It is if you're on kbin. Instructions here.

LeateWonceslace,

Thank you very much!

Damn, yet another cool thing kbin has that I didn't even know about.

I really hope more instances adopt this feature.

Thank you for this! So handy! (I'm not going to block anything yet, but it is great to know that I can!)

Menachem,

outside of running your own instance, asking your instance’s owner to block them, or joining one that already has the offender on the blocklist, no. It’s requested a lot though so it’s probably on the todo list

I mean you could try expanding your horizons a little bit and learning about other instances instead of being so scared of every opposing viewpoint on the internet. I promise you we aren’t anywhere near as bad as the libs across lemmy grumble about.

But like others have said there’s currently no built in lemmy way to do it. If you’re using uBlock Origin, you can go into the options (with the gears), go into the My filters tab, and add this line to the bottom:

lemm.ee##div.post-listing > div:nth-child(2) > article:nth-child(1) > div:nth-child(2) > div:nth-child(1) > div:nth-child(2) > div:nth-child(3) > a:nth-child(2) > span:has-text(@hexbear.net):upward(8)

It won’t exactly block it but it’ll filter out any Hexbear posts from your page when it loads so you don’t see them. You can replace the lemm.ee at the beginning with another instance and it should continue to work elsewhere, as long as there aren’t any major changes to the front end.

If you aren’t using uBlock then idk how you’re even getting through life.

I was considering keeping an open mind until you called everyone against you "the libs". Not sure why people are calling you leftist.

TheLepidopterists,
@TheLepidopterists@hexbear.net avatar

You could go to an instance that blocks us, like Lemmy.world if you are that scared of communists.

Alternatively this third party app Pretty Private Browsing has instance blocking features I think, but I don’t care for the UI personally.

Final option I guess is to cry about it?

boyi,

Have a look at available lemmy clients. Sync for example has a filter feature to block either an instance, a community or user straight from a post.

YuccaMan,
@YuccaMan@hexbear.net avatar

Try not being such a little panzy instead

yukichigai,

Y'know, if you're trying to convince someone that your instance isn't really that bad, a bunch of you coming into a thread and aggressively shitting on the OP en masse probably isn't the way to do it.

eltimablo,

It's spelled "pansy" you hyperaggressive grundle.

This is about the best you can hope for from hexbear users.

Once you get to know us I think you’ll find we’re actually pretty cool
