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?

You can do it on Kbin but I don’t know how to do it on Lemmy.

Has kbin added the ability to follow hashtags yet? That's pretty much the only feature that I need to be able/willing to fully migrate my lemmy/mastadon

I haven’t seen it but I almost never touch the microblog section.

How do I do that?

Format your links like this to target the desired instance: https://kbin.social/d/lemmy.ml

Then go to the sidebar and look for the 🚫 symbol and click that. I did it for LemmyNSFW and I haven’t seen any posts from there.

I didn't block NSFW instances but I also don't see them. I'd like to though.

I think you just need to enable it in your profile. I browse on my breaks at work and I can’t have random anime tiddays popping up if a co-worker passes by.

It is enabled. Still no tiddies:(

/d/, of course! I tried getting the formatting down a couple of weeks back but gave up so thanks!
