Defederating was the right call. The_Donald is being hosted on sh.itjust.works.

The admin of sh.itjust.works has been approached but as of yet has failed to reply to concerned Lemmy users. I’m glad Beehaw admins look out for us by cutting off instances that host communities like this.

You'll still have to deal with the users of that community coming onto your server and posting on other communities you can see.
Yea, understood. In this case I was looking for a less heavy-handed option, blocking just the communities in question rather than all the users on the instance. We're a tiny instance so we don't get too much inbound traffic, it's just me and a few other people interacting with the wider Fediverse for now. So something in between defederation and complete tolerance would be great if they add that in the future.
I'm able to block specific communities from my feed as a user over here at Beehaw.
