Is there a straightforward way to go through and block all communities on hexbear? I browse All but would like to avoid accidentally commenting on any of their posts.

Sync can do it

Filter comment and posts from the entire instance.

It's great.

Seems like a good option for mobile users. I don't do social media stuff on mobile though, so I guess I'm stuck just blocking them as I see them for now.

What we really need is a RES for lemmy.

There are alternative desktop frontends. Maybe one of those will add it.

Connect too. They were the first in fact iirc

How do you filter comments by instance on sync? Can it, for example, filter all comments by hexbear users on posts from any instance?

[–] 50MYT@aussie.zone 1 points 1 year ago

Go to a post from a user on the instance you want to filter (has to be a post bot a comment)

Click the three dots

Go to filter

Then you can choose between the user, the community or the instance.

Not yet, but lemmy should have user controls to block instances soon
