I’m not sure where to ask this so I started here: here: Is there a Lemmy client that has a filter. I want to hide posts from particular accounts. Like anyone for hexbear, for example. I know I can set up my own instance, but that’s more work than I want right now. I was hoping someone knew a client that could do this.
