How feasible would it be to have levels of federation? Make it possible for instances to partially-federate (if you're from "your-instan.ce" and its partially-federated with lemmy.world, you don't see lemmy.world stuff in your feeds, but allow browsing and interacting with "https://your-instan.ce/c/[email protected]").

Sounds more like a simple filter to your feed. I'm not familiar with the backend side of Lemmy but I would guess it shouldn't be too hard to implement.

Just save an array of instance domains a user doesn't want to see in their preferences and filter them out of the post list that gets served to them.
