Blocking all users from an instance

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.

I know it’s possible to block instances, but you can still see comments from their users.
If you block an instance, all that instance's users - posts, comments up/down votes - disappear completely. At least that has been my experience.
- Thanks, I'm not going crazy
  
  That's super-weird. I have Hexbear blocked as a whole and I never see anything Hexbear. Likewise, I have most Lemmygrad communities blocked piecemeal (but not the instance blocked whole - yet) and ~~anything to do with those communities too are correctly disappeared.~~
  EDIT: After double-checking. OP is correct
- Thanks for the answer, so either I have a bug or I've blocked the wrong instance (with a close name)
  Edit: I've checked, the instance is correctly spelled, I'll try clearing cache / reinstalling
I'd think your best bet would be to join an instance that has defederated from the one you don't want to see.
- Thanks for the tip, I think I'll do that
same i dont like to see ml and hexbear, constantly posting garbage whines the same way conservatives do.
