Filtering posts by bot account (lemmy.ca)

Been using Sync for a few days. Love the same experience as the previous one for Reddit. Good good!! However, I am trying to hide all posts submitted by the bot account bot@lemmit.online but it does not seem to work.

I use the feature Filters > User filters and added this account bot@lemmit.online but posts from this bot is still showing up in my Lemmy stream.

Any ideas how to fix this?

Thanks, my fellow Lemmings!!

For me the filtering works just fine, but you can also just go to the user profile and select "block", that would be the official lemmy function. You might need to scroll a bit to the right in the user toolbar on the profile.

I eventually tried this and it seemed to work. I might be seeing a bug here because by using the filter function, it did not work (I made sure the username I block is the same) but using the block function on the individual post worked.
