China has lashed out at Germany after its foreign minister called Xi Jinping a “dictator” and summoned Berlin’s ambassador for a dressing down, in the latest flaring of tensions with a western democratic power over how the Chinese leader is described overseas.

I use a client that can block instances, so I have all of Hexbear blocked. It radically improves the Lemmy experience.

I use a Violentmonkey script to do so

Whats the client?

Sync let's you do it. Also possibly Connect? I forgot the other one, but i think it might be Connect.

Yes, connect lets you block instances, but it still shows that there was a comment there and lets you show it. It's handy to see how much you're blocking.

[-] Teppic@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

Kbin allows users to do this (noting kbin isn't a client it's a compatible platform).

Memmy app let’s you do it as well.

Does it? I can’t find that setting

Edit: Nevermind, I read this as Mlem

I am using Eternity or Voyager, I will be so happy when instance blocking comes to those.

[-] Buelldozer@lemmy.today 1 points 1 year ago

Connect does instance blocking and I think LiftOff does as well.

[-] Cheradenine@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago

I just.tried Liftoff and i did not see that option

Give Memmy a try. I switched to it so I could block entire instances. It’s made my feed so much better!

Thanks for the recommendation, but I'm on Android, so I can't use it. On spezit I loved, and supported Infinity, the Infinity fork Eternity is very good. I love having my own colour theme, it's great for qol, and all the other nice features it has.
