I can block individual communities, but I wanna block everything from hexbear.

    The best way is to make an account on a server that doesn’t federate with them. Sh.itjust.works, lemmy.world, and most other large servers are defederated from hexbear and lemmygrad.ml.

    Apparently lemmy.cafe is defederated from those as well as lemmy.ml. Be aware that a good chunk of major communities are hosted in lemmy.ml, so you won’t be able to access those if you’re defederated.

    Unfortunately even if you block them, you will still see posts and comments that users from that server make on external communities. It’s only by being fully defederated that you won’t be able to see any of their content at all.

    The lemmy.cafe instance is defederated from lemmy.ml and hexbear. If you use a lemmy.cafe account, you won’t see any post/comment/communities from users of those instances.

    For me, this works better than having to block users one by one. Lemmy is only tolerable to me because of this option.

    You can block full instances via a PC. I generally surf lemmy using Boost and I wasn’t able to do on my phone.

    But go to your settings>blocked>instances and type in the instances you want to block.

    Also fair warning, you’re most likely about to get brigaded by both instances

      Boost has that option under settings>filters & blocks>muted instances. You have to type in the instance address but it worked for me at least.

        Weird. I couldn’t do it, but it’s all good. I can remove blocked instances but not add them on boost. Might be a bug I should let the devs know about

    Feel ya, every now and then I do find an interesting conversation on both, but most of the time its just annoying spam at best.

    You can block instances in Voyager. I don’t know if it blocks everything though, like comments from a blocked instance account etc.
