I'm not sure there is. Personally, I wish there were a way for an individual to block entire instances since I'm a terminally online individual with 3 accounts who sorts by all -> new for content :P

I get what you're saying, and hopefully it's a feature that gets added. I'm sure eventually it will, or maybe someone will make an app or an add-on

I definitely can block inetances, I did with one click. Maybe it's the app I use? (Connect)

I still see comments from it's users but they're behind a (comment from blocked instance) button.

I believe it's a per-app feature. After switching over to Eternity (Infinity for Lemmy) I had to do my Blocklist again. Also each app handles blocked instances differently, and I think connect does it the best with how it still shows the comments, but not posts.

Interesting. I use Jerboa, which makes it easy to block communities, but not entire instances. I'd check out connect, but I browse just as often in a desktop browser, so it would be really nice to have consistency.

It's not that big a deal to me, just a feature that would be nice to have imo

Sync lets you block entire instances, and that includes the comments.

It's a cool self federation

I don't see the blocked comments or posts with the Eternity app.

...But I also can't make my own posts yet....

Edit: wait... Not sure if it still shows comments from people on instances I've blocked.

The "block instance" feature is apparently in the pipeline for Lemmy.

Kbin currently allows you to block entire instances, so that's nice.

Oh, that's good news! I know it's been a request on github for quite some time.
