Comment on Hexbear federation megathread

Since lemm.ee seems insistent on staying federated with Hexbear, can anyone recommend a working instance (.world keeps crashing on me) that’s defederated them?

I’m not tech savvy enough to know how to check whose defederated them and personally I find that their low-effort high-spam trolling in every thread they see to be off putting enough that I’ve been going back to Reddit because it feels less toxic. I liked the culture at Lemmy before Hexbear showed up and if possible I’d like to get that back. Thanks in advance!

If you wanna get away that bad https://lemmmy.world is a pretty big instance that defederated from us

Since lemm.ee seems insistent on staying federated with Hexbear,

after the show they produced in this discussion, i wouldn’t be that sure about that 😆

I can’t recommend a spot, since I’m here, but to see defederated instances go to the instance you’re interested in and way down at the bottom of the page is an “instances” link. That page has two lists, ones that are linked and ones that are blocked.

  Thanks, I appreciate the tip. Lemmy’s tech barrier is a bit of a stretch for me but most people here have been really helpful!

With the sync client you can block instances for your account, so that you’re not dependent on your home instance. Of course, that only works through the app, so in the browser it isn’t blocked. But since I personally almost exclusively use lemmy through the sync app, it works very well for me.

You might like kbin ,where you can block instances and domains yourself at an individual level.

Kinda cheeky I know but the instance I’m commenting from (sopuli.xyz) is a nice one imo. It’s Finnish (so there’s a similar “home” culture to here) and hosts the Ukraine war report communities so any instance trying hexbear’s shenanigans gets defederated from super quickly without much drama just to avoid them from flooding the comments section with emojis and “lib cuck NATO should die” nonsense, but beyond that (and the other usual suspects) it’s pretty open with who it federates with

I’d suggest you take a look at the @usernames of commenters in communities you like then lookup their home instance list. This list can be found at: instancename.here**/instances** Example: admin@lemmy.ml is hosted on the Lemmy.ml instance. Therefore: lemmy.ml/instances

This will bring up a giant wall of text. First heading “Linked instances” are those federated with, second “Blocked instances” is those not federated with. Using Ctrl+F, “Find in page” or “Find” is incredibly useful here.

Hopefully this’ll help you now and in the future!
