Not sure if this is a planned feature, but not being able to block instances. I can do that on Mastodon so I expected to be able to do it here as well. Outside of the usual extreme cases where defederation makes sense, that would solve a lot of "lemmy.deez user said this! why doesn't lemmy.nuts defederate from them?" bullshit. Of course there's always the option of changing instance but you're never gonna agree 100% with the owner's choices when it's something you should be able to have control over.
I believe instance blocking is a planned feature for Lemmy in the future.
Apps like Sync or Liftoff let you block whole instances on your own.
Defederation is more for instances to not get overwhelmed by (federated) traffic from instances that most of their users would block anyway.
Unless I somehow missed it I'm pretty sure you couldn't filter instances, only users and communities, but I just checked now and you can so maybe they've recently added it.
IIRC it's been added somewhat recently, like a few weeks ago. LiftOff has it in the beta, I think? Or something like that.
You can say last filter instances with the "Connect" app if you're on Android. Currently my favorite client compared to Jerboa, Sync, and Thunder.
That's cool but that would only work on that app on that device locally, so it's not exactly ideal. I've only tried Sync and infinity so far, so maybe I'll check that out later and see if I like it.
