What do you mean? Being on instance X federated with Y would you like to have the possibility to not see content posted by people from Y? Does the content include comments? (Imagine weird blank spots in the middle of conversation and people replying to non-existing for you message). Would you like to also not see Y in search results?
I suspect they mean blocking instances at the user level - Mastodon allows this.
I mean blocking all communities from an instance by a user. Currently, it's implemented on a client level in a few clients, but it obviously doesn't work for the web UI. Blocking all users from a certain instance is not that useful, I guess.
