Tankies celebrate themselves being included in a list along with Stormfront and 8Kun, says that people are sympathetic for their community while angry they're not higher on the list

I did laugh at the "not stormfront but like the other stormfront" bit.

For those who want to preemptively block hexbear ahead of defederation, it's fairly easy to do.

Go to <instance.name>/d/hexbear.net, and then click the block button in the domain section. That will add it to the domain block list on your profile.

For desktop, it should be on the right hand side. On mobile, I had to scroll down and tap on the dotted triangle icon.

This doesn't block posts from hexbear, it blocks post that link to hexbear. At least in theory. In practice it's buggy, and will just block stuff at random, so you shouldn't use it. Also, hexbear hasn't federated kbin, so we don't see their posts anyway.

That's weird. I see from your profile that chapotraphouse is federating. Or at least, some of the posts are?

We're not on their list of allowed instances, so I assumed that meant we don't federate at all. I guess it must just be one-sided, where we can see their posts, but they can't see ours?

That’d be nice, especially since it is a functionality that has been requested quite a lot recently.

Sadly when I go to /d/hexbear.net , it gives me a 404?

Even when using sh.itjust.works (because I’m 100% sure that I can see this post and comment section, and comment here) I seem to get the 404.

Any idea why that might be? I imagine I’m doing it wrong.

EDIT: It’s because you’re on Kbin, and I’m on Lemmy, isn’t it? Damnit.

That may be it. I need to figure out how lemmy does the domain stuff.

Probably not at all (user wise) , I imagine that’s why everyone is requesting the feature. :(

That doesn't work unfortunately...
