No. User-level instance blocking is not the same as instance-level defederation. User-level instance blocking is equivalent to blocking all the communities from that instance. AFAIK you’ll still see posts and comments from the blocked instance in other communities. More problematically, the blocked instance still influences your feed via its votes.

Can you do that yet without your instance just entirely defederating?

Yes. Go to: settings > blocks > scroll down
At the end of the page, below your blocked users and communities, there is a list of instances, which you blocked. You can add instances there aswell.
I’m using thunder, on mobile. All I know is I am on lemmy.world, any idea how to modify what instances I am connected to with that?
Thank you for this

Most apps have a instance block in the settings.
Sync has it as an app option, and several of the apps I was using prior to sync had something similar.
This has vastly improved my experience on Lemmy’s Top 6 Hours
Thunder has it too
Hey that’s my go to default sort as well.
