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.

    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!

                Well, all I know is that Jerboa seems to hide comments from Hexbear dwellers while Voyager doesn’t.

                As for Markup, I tried posting a comment with a ~~…~~ marker in Voyager, and it showed up as ~~some text~~, whereas it correctly showed up as strikethrough text some text in Jerboa.

                  The strikethrough you posted works fine in Voyager. If something specific doesn’t work, please post in !voyagerapp@lemmy.world (or better yet, a GitHub issue) so I can fix. :)

                  Not sure what’s going on with hexbear, but I doubt they block those users in app. Maybe you’re using an instance that is defederated from them or something.
