Hi, I know it might sound a bit extreme but is there a way to block every users from specific instances ? Someting like “*@shitty.instance.com” ?

I know it’s possible to block instances, but you can still see comments from their users.

      That’s super-weird. I have Hexbear blocked as a whole and I never see anything Hexbear. Likewise, I have most Lemmygrad communities blocked piecemeal (but not the instance blocked whole - yet) and anything to do with those communities too are correctly disappeared.

      EDIT: After double-checking. OP is correct

          No. I chose my instance - SDF - precisely because they don’t defederate with any other instance and they let users do it for themselves.

              Oh damn yeah, I do:

              It must be a new bug then, because it wasn’t like that before. I know because I explicitely checked when I blocked Hexbear.

              Also, I realize that I don’t see the commenters’ instance. So it’s easy to miss they’re from a blocked instance.

                  FWIW I have gone back to Jerboa: it works as expected wrt blocked instances and users, but also it lets me post in Markdown - something Voyager doesn’t seem to do, and I never noticed before.

                    Voyager blocking behaves exactly the same as in jerboa, since both let the backend do it.

                    As for markdown, what do you mean? Like a WYSIWYG editor? If so, Voyager prefers to write markdown directly. Fun fact: it was actually one of the main design goals of markdown!
