Learn how federation works, or better yet, go back to reddit.

Is there a way to observe inter-instance comment/vote trafic with relation to a specific post or instance ?

[–] brain_in_a_box@hexbear.net 42 points 1 year ago (1 children)

No idea. Doesn't really matter though, federation means that federated instances share the space.

If it didn't matter, there wouldn't be so much squabbling regarding defederation

What do you mean?

Is it possible to block all users from an instance at once?

Haha good one!

[–] brain_in_a_box@hexbear.net 18 points 1 year ago

I could be wrong, but I don't think there is at the moment.

Have you tried shutting your eyes, putting your fingers in your ears and singing loudly

Fyi if someone comes across this - best approach on regular lemmy now seems to be to have account with an instance like https://sopuli.xyz/ which has defederated hexbear, lemmygrad, etc. Kbin and some frontend apps allow this as well.
