Can we block entire instances? (lemmy.ml)

There are a couple of instances that are clearly misaligned with my values, but they're very active, so a lot of the communities keep popping up in my feed. I've been blocking the communities, but it would be pretty cool if I could just block the entire instance. I know an instance can defederate from another instance. Is there a way for an individual user to do something similar, short of spinning up an entire instance myself?

Use UBo filter lists https://lemmy.blahaj.zone/post/1633853

Ah, I mostly view Lemmy through Jerboa, but thanks for the idea.

If you're using an app, both connect and sync for lemmy have instance filtering.

The caveat is that it's filtering, which is in-app only. But it works quite well in both.
