Hi, I know it might sound a bit extreme but is there a way to block every users from specific instances ? Someting like “*@shitty.instance.com” ?
I know it’s possible to block instances, but you can still see comments from their users.
You must log in or register to comment.

If you block an instance, all that instance’s users - posts, comments up/down votes - disappear completely. At least that has been my experience.

Thanks, I’m not going crazy
That’s super-weird. I have Hexbear blocked as a whole and I never see anything Hexbear. Likewise, I have most Lemmygrad communities blocked piecemeal (but not the instance blocked whole - yet) and
anything to do with those communities too are correctly disappeared.EDIT: After double-checking. OP is correct

No. I chose my instance - SDF - precisely because they don’t defederate with any other instance and they let users do it for themselves.

Oh damn yeah, I do:
It must be a new bug then, because it wasn’t like that before. I know because I explicitely checked when I blocked Hexbear.
Also, I realize that I don’t see the commenters’ instance. So it’s easy to miss they’re from a blocked instance.

Thanks for the answer, so either I have a bug or I’ve blocked the wrong instance (with a close name)
Edit: I’ve checked, the instance is correctly spelled, I’ll try clearing cache / reinstalling
I’d think your best bet would be to join an instance that has defederated from the one you don’t want to see.
Thanks for the tip, I think I’ll do that
same i dont like to see ml and hexbear, constantly posting garbage whines the same way conservatives do.
