If I as a user don't want to interact with or amplify an instance - such as lemmy.ml - for whatever reason

Is there a way to do so? I've been blocking individual communities on Lemmy.ml to avoid amplifying that instance. But more pop up. Is there any way for me as a user to block an entire instance?

I'm new so this may not be completely accurate but my understanding is that individual users can't block other instances entirely, that can only be done at the instance level by the instance admins. Individual users can only block other individual users or communities.
