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?

I've seen other people ask for this same thing months ago. I would also like the feature added. As of now you can't do it. Browsing posts with "only subscriptions" will be my preferred way for the time being.

Very highly requested feature. For now just block the bot that posts that spam; it's just one or two afaik

I saw in settings today "block bot accounts". I wonder what I'll lose if I select it. I'll leave it for now.
