How do I block an instance?

Users and communities can be blocked, but what if I want an entire instance gone?

I see a link I like and get hijacked into seeing sports stats from fanaticus.social.

I have manually blocked every community I have found, I think 45, but since it’s run by bots (it says that it is), I know there will be more to come. How do I get rid of this spam?

Are you on desktop? You can install a script. https://greasyfork.org/en/scripts/469297-block-lemmy-instances
