You can't do it within lemmy itself, but the Android app Connect for Lemmy can let you block instances while you are accessing lemmy through the app.

I would imagine that when it goes to render a post, it checks against your block list and then just... doesn't display it.
It will supposedly be open sourced at some point in the future.

Not yet sadly, but I think the feature has been requested on Github.
The Thunder app on Android allows me to do it.
My feed is now devoid of everything I have no interest in. Memes, shitposts, sport, foreign language all gone. It's nice now.

I do not believe there is.
I wish. If only I could block all comments from certain instances too. Lemmy is still young, hopefully one day.
This community is not for support, please have a look at the sidebar
Create an account on Kbin; Kbin has this feature and lemmy does not.
Just to clarify: We have the ability to block domains. Doesn't work quite the same way as one would want an instance block, however. Have tested it out lol
That being said I do believe a proper instance block is in the works for kbin according to ernest.
That doesn't work. You can block it but the communities on that instance will still show up. I tried that already with that furry instance. lemmynsfw is still defederated though, so you won't see it on kbin anyway.
