Out of curiosity, you have an account on both hexbear and here and hexbear is also defederated from l.w. Is this like a secondary account to reach more instances or is it your primary one?

Meta community. Discuss about this lemmy instance or lemmy in general.
Prior to instance bans I use/used all of my accounts because none of you get along.
I have a LW, Lemmy.ml, hex, db0, etc.
Esp when certain instances ban anything to the left of "maybe we shouldn't hunt the poor for sport?” as " bot" activity
We seem to get along with most instances actually :)
I mean when their relationship is solely extractive; at best, I'm sure they love you being the host and not them
The answer to block instances has been provided. But just for the record, this instance is not about no moderation, ergo our extensive rules on the sidebar
Well then I would then highly recommend you all consider the defed from the bot-fest
Only thing it will do will pull their users over here because LW is still sour on piracy (gotta keep up the price of 1%ers assets, after all)
Lemmy hasn’t implemented instance blocks yet, so here is my question:
But it has since version 19.0.
Under user settings -> blocks there is a "block instance" card next to the user and community card.
Does this not block user comments? I still see comments from blocked instances.
It does not. It only blocks the posts on communities in those instances.
That's actually great for how I use it (blocking porn communities)
Darn.
I've never actually blocked an instance, so I don't know.
OMG it's allllllll the way down there! It was so far off the screen for me.
Bless you.
Thank you so much, you don't know how much this has helped my sanity.
