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?

Connect for lemmy let's you do thus as well. User, Community, or instance.

This is nice, but not quite the same. Blocks per app are useful, but it’s even nicer when you can have blocks per user. Like I want to block lemmynsfw.com on this account, but not on another account. Right now my solution is using 2 apps.
