    can anyone explain why I keep seeing their garbage after attempting to block everything hexbear related? I don’t even mind the occasional tankie that much, but this lot is fucking bonkers.

        had issues with lemmy.world for a while and went to lemmy.ee, will give that a try I suppose.

        I just can’t fathom why I can’t eliminate .hex from my feed lol

          As a stopgap measure you can use the Connect app, which has instance blocking.

      Lemmy and federation is very buggy. I’m from an instance which hexbear defederated from, but I sometimes still see posts from hexbear when browsing all+new. It seems like it doesn’t always get around to checking defederation when fetching new threads.
