If you want to block an entire instance of Lemmy you can use the /d/ (for domain) function. For instance, if you didn’t want to see anything from lemmy.ml you could go to https://kbin.social/d/lemmy.ml and click the block icon on the right side. You can manage your blocked domains from your settings. You can also block individual Magazines/Communities by going to the community and clicking on the block icon.
Also, I’m not suggesting that people should be blocking either of those domains. They were just some of the first options on my feed that I could copy for examples.
Wow, that’s a superb feature I didn’t know existed! So I could subscribe to https://kbin.social/d/newrepublic.com (not going to just using the same example) and get every thread that links there - nice!
It looks like that is a planned feature judging by the unpopulated “Instances:” heading beneath the main toggle. For now you can block specific communities/magazines from appearing in your feeds. So you could just block any lemmy.ml community that appears.
so we can defederate individually with any magazine or all of an instance such as lemmy.ml
I believe turning federation “off” would just limit your feed to content from kbin.social.

You can also use the domain feature to block non-Lemmy/Kbin sites: https://kbin.social/d/newrepublic.com

this is super useful!
I posted this as a thread in the /m/kbinmeta to bring attention, linking back to your post
