Feature request: Allows users to block instances individually

[ghost]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Some instances federated with either have content, users, magazines, or something one would not like to interact with. For example an extremely political instance might not be sharing any content one would like to interact with.

Describe the solution you'd like

Allows users (not on instance level) to block anybody and everything from an instance.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Manually block everybody and everything from an instance. However this is time consuming.

Use a client (do such clients exist?) that automatically block depending on which instance the content is coming from.

Additional context

There is a "block domain" feature, but that seems to only block posts with links to instance. For example one creates a post that has the URL https://somebodysinstance.com/some/path and one has blocked the domain "somebodysinstance.com", then that post won't show up.

A lot easier to implement after #939 is merged

PR #939 is merged. I also think it's related to my findings here: #1119 (comment). What do you think?

[BentiGorlich]

Nope not related. The feature request is that individual users should be able to block instances

[melroy89]

Owh.. Updated title.

Yeah, I'm at 209 blocked communities right now. lol
I do appreciate the ability to see defederated instances though.

Edit: How are we defederated with lemmygrad but not with hexbear though?
