Is there a way to ignore all content from specific instances? (discuss.tchncs.de)

There's content coming from some specific instances that I'm not particularly interested in. When I'm browsing content outside of my local instance, can I prevent all content from one (or more) specific instance(s) from being displayed?

My current understanding is that you can only block individual communities, not entire instances.

It’s a bit unfortunate — I would also like to block at the instance level.

How do you block communities?

For real. The German communities are multiplying fast

I don't know enough about how Lemmy works on the back end - but maybe something like a PiHole blocking all traffic to the domains of instances you don't like. I'm unsure if the device requests that data directly from the other instance or if the instance you're connected to retrieves that data and sends it as it's own.

As far as I understand, it’s the latter. So Pi-hole would not help you here at all.
