I'm able to block specific communities from that server, but I'll still end up seeing more posts from other communities on their server.

Is there a way for me to stop seeing anything from their server besides hosting one of my own and degenerating from hexbear?

If your browser supports uBlock Origin you can use it to block an instance. Basically just add something like this under 'My Filters':

lemmy.one##.post-listing:has-text(@hexbear.net)

Where 'lemmy.one' is the instance you're browsing from, and '@hexbear.net' is the instance you wish to block. The '@' prefix is necessary

Connect app has a built in block instance feature fwiw

I believe you can't block instances as a user, at the moment.

I use this usercript to block whole instances:

You need to edit line 17

degenerating

Ha, hexbear is already a bunch of degenerates, no?

(yeah, you meant 'defederating', but I thought it was funny)
