I think that's coming (or is it implemented already!?)?
I totally thought that was in 0.19 but I haven't actually seen that yet.
It's under Settings -> Blocks -> then down at the bottom is the block instances option.
If the apps don't have instance blocking yet, the webui does (in 0.19)... I haven't tested it, but it's there, at the bottom of my settings page 🙂
0.19.1
the 0.19 implementation is so half-assed I genuinely think the Lemmy devs just don't want that functionality but expected quite a lot of backlash if they outright said as much, so they decided to implement something that ticks the box in the "wanted features" list without having any effect
afaik it only blocks communities and explicitly lets users from blocked instances through
Feel free to make open an issue to improve instance blocking. Or better yet a pull request. We are only a few devs with limited time, and hundreds of issues to work on.
Sorry for this kind of aggressivity
