how to block instances? (lemmy.ml)

There are some Lemmy instances I'd rather not have on my All feed. I know I can block individual communities but can I block entire instances or do I need to host my own to do this?

There is currently no way to block whole instances as a user and it seems like this feature will not come anytime soon. So it's either self hosting for full control or choose an instance that blocks the unwanted instances. Alternatively you could just block the communities of unwanted instances.

It's one of the reasons I'm on my own instance.

I guess this where being technically savvy is helpful. I don't really want more things to manage in my life so I'll check out a few of the other instances as well in case one fits better. However, having to join and rejoin instances is annoying.
