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.

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?

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.

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.

Try not being such a little panzy instead

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

timespace,

What did you find out about hexbear?

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)

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.

I thought their position is "America bad"

You can just ignore it and not post anything to it, that’s what I do with the instances I don’t care for

imPastaSyndrome,

Ok or… Hear me out- they could filter it like they want with the various apps that do that, instead of your suggestion that doesn’t help

GarbageShoot,

Pick a new instance or make one

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.

mojo,

Currently no. Still needs to be implemented by Lemmy.

CMahaff,

The PR for the necessary back-end changes is out for review on GitHub: github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/pull/3869

mojo,

Oh hell yeah, thanks for sharing
