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!!

Can you not block it in your actual Lemmy settings in the webui?

I did not try this. The reason I am asking this in this community is that I was trying it out in Sync and could not get it to work. But apparently, using the block function on the post worked. Did I just find a bug?

I’m thinking so. I don’t even use sync so I can’t test. Just wanted to give you a way of getting rid of the annoyance. According to @Blizzard@lemmy.zip in this post, it does work.
