I don’t like to see so many political posts in all and so many weird images in comment sections

Idk but I blocked like a dozen of them or so and they just disappeared. They have a few always-online users that you should just block when they pop up.

join an instance like sopuli.xyz that has defederated from them

No way yet, but it's supposed to be coming. In the mean time, if you block the major comms you'll probably remove about 90% of the hexbear posts from your feed.

With sync for lemmy you can block instances by adding it to the instances filter.

As a stop gap, I've just blocked all their communities.

Yeah, I have blocked hexbear & numerous weird gay/fetish porn communities. Make sure you're logged in. Click on the post & navigate to the community....then...towards the top before all the posts, there's a bunch of options. One being to 'block'. I have to scroll to find it.

Block their ass

It should be noted I use Sync for Lemmy. You may or may not have this on your render/UI. Should be able to block.

Not that I know of, but it should be added in for those who don't want to interact with people from Hexbear. If people have the freedom to block an instance for themselves it would expand the decentralization that Lemmy is built on, since people don't have to move to those instances to block out Hexbear.

I've read that blocking the Hexbear domain is a solution to this, but that isn't a proper solution, since those who aren't tech-literate would have a pretty hard time doing that, so a first-party solution would be the best.
