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?

Will blocking an instance also block all their users?

I use connect, and any posts from a user in a blocked instance still pops up with a message saying what instance they're on and that it's blocked, but I can click on it to reveal the comment.

That's probably the most straightforward implementation of instance-wide blocking for users. I like it.
