I do not know whether anybody else has already said this, but Lemmy could really use a feature that would allow individual users to block instances. I think it could have spared some of the defederation word wars that have been going on lately, since that would be an individual choice rather than a collective one.
Just a thought.
It is currently in development: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/pull/3869
Glad to see that. Personally I really enjoy having my worldview challenged, but I can also get behind why others do not.
You want me to test the limits of that enjoyment? (Hint: you don’t. Trust me on this.)

I believe present best workaround is to set your home feed to show Subscribed.
Thanks. Changing feed does not solve the “brigading”, though, so I can see why many resort to calling for defederation or changing instance.
If you’re a macOS user, try Leomard. Leomard has a client-side option to screen out specific instances from your view.
Lemmy-client app can did this now. If you use iOS, you can try memmy. This app can filter keywords or instance.
It’s been requested repeatedly. Glad to see it’s on the roadmap.
@Masimatutu Agree with you, it definitely should be an individual choice rather than a collective one, instead of users having to decide which instance they want to be on based on whatever drama is happening currently.
I hope there’s going to be a feature to block just posts from specific instance.
