Ask Lemmy
A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, and toxicity are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
6) No US Politics.
Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world or !askusa@discuss.online
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

Russian slash communist pieces of shit. Life is much easier if you just block hexbear.
Yeah but...how? How can you block from your account the whole of it? I keep getting communities belonging to hexbear popping into my feed, and I have to individually block each one of them. It's rather tedious. Isn't there a way to make a whole instance block from your account?
Some apps might have nicer blocking features. Or move instances to one that is defederated from them
I think most popular apps (boost, voyager if i remember, etc.) have this feature. I dont believe lemmy has this natively.
Note that blocking instances doesn't mean you wont see comments from there. It only works on communities.
To be honest though, most of the problematic people only comment on specific posts/communities so blocking certain keywords and instances should fare pretty well.
Jerboa does, but not sure about doing it through a browser.
Yes, you can block instances through the browser. It blocks communites, not users. Users have to be blocked individually.
Voyager gives much blocking flexibility
