Is there anyway i can block all communities from certain instance (everything @example.com) ?

This will be implemented in Lemmy soon, then we'll implement in Voyager :)
- That would be great, thanks
Currently: Not for a user.
The only way to block at instance level is defederation which is usually a bit extreme.
This shouldn't be too complicated to handle at the user level, but someone would have to spend time to develop it and contribute to lemmy source code.
Likewise, there are specific instances for which I'd want to auto-sub to all current and future communities, which is also not a fair that exists (other than creating your account there and browsing "Local")
IMHO, Blocking at the user level is a feature that's relatively likely to happen eventually.

  There is sort of a workaround, though. Spin up your own personal instance, then you can federate/defederate with whomever you choose.
  
  Out of curiosity how intensive is it to run a lemmy instance just for your own personal use?
  Kinda curios if federation content from large instances (like lemmy.world and lemmy.ml) and serving pictrs hosted on your personal to said larger instances is resource intensive (bandwidth/cpu).
Tired of tankie pro ccp as well? None yet that I know of unfortunately.
- For me, it’s all the porn
  
  Exactly
  
  I disabled nsfw content to fix that.
- Getting downvoted by authoritarian simps is always a win.
  
  I don't want all that drama, just want to browse dankmemes and retro games
- Yeah. It's the worst thing about Lemmy. As someone who's relatively socialist, all it does is make actual socialists look bad.
  Lemmygrad.ml and lemmy.ml are obnoxious.
The Connect app allows you to filter out an instance, but it also hides comments from any users logged in to that instance. Which cam be a bit distracting, though all you have to do is press a button to reveal them.
