Can I filter an instance without blocking its users? (piefed.social)

When browsing popular, I'd like to only see instances that speak my language because I can't read the posts that are made on that instance.

When I block the instance, it blocks the users too. So when a user from that instance replies to a comment, I get a notification with a link that doesn't lead anywhere.

Is there a way to filter the instance/posts without filtering out their users too?

Tried the search function but didn't see a post like this

I would love this as a feature. My hope for the fediverse is something where the user has total control and otherwise it has a very light touch at higher levels. So blocking instances with options like all, only users, only communities would be great.

I understand this isn't a thing then? That's a shame. I'll go ahead and unblock these instances then, I don't want to completely block out all the users too
