How do I, as a user, block an entire instance from showing up in my feed? (lemmy.fmhy.ml)

I’ve noticed that a certain hate filled instance is showing up in my “all” feed and would rather not see losers complaining and hating.

You can’t - unless you own the instance in which case you can block other instances from federating with yours. However, it’s been a long requested feature so I’m sure it might show up at some point.

I suggest you either a) block individual communities b) switch to an instance that isn’t federated with them (yet). You won’t see their content if no one on the instance has tried to find their content before.

If the instance you're having a problem with is an egregious case, you could also make a case to your instance admins to defederate with them entirely, but this is kind of the nuclear option. If it's just a few users causing problems, rather than something the instance itself is promoting, that's probably overkill.
