The Android app Connect has it. I’ve blocked a few instances, so I don’t see communities from them. I do see posts from users from those instances, but they’re collapsed by default. Example:
Comment on please defederate from exploding-heads.com and rammy.site

There are some tricks you can do with uBlock, which I’ve done, but that doesn’t help on apps.
I hope this feature gets added to Lemmy at some point.

So, the effect of “blocking an instance” is that you’d be blocking all users from that instance? Seems like a useful feature.

What I had in mind was only to block posts from that instance when browsing “all”. Exploding-Heads and Lemmygrad, for example, each have a lot of different communities that are all ideologically identical and it’s tedious to block each one individually.
But I like your idea even more. Blocking all users from an instance should also be possible at the user-level. This would be similar to defederation.
