I as a user can go to a community I do not subscribe to and block it. I'm not sure if that's exactly what you are meaning. Either way I find that this is the appropriate measure for anything from spammy/annoying communities to ones that are just toxic. I think we should all be more concerned with curating our experience to what is useful to us instead of worrying about what others can see. Otherwise we begin the creep back towards centralization - which is great until it isn't.
I am talking about an instance A federating with not the full second instance B. I asked if A can set to be able to see only a not-whole fraction of B.
