Individual users cannot block entire servers. Only server admin can. As a mere user, you can block individual Threads users but that’s about all.
If you’re concerned, you can register an account with a server that does defederate from Threads. You can find out what servers are blocked by going to the website of any Lemmy instance and clicking “instances” on the bottom of the page.
True! OP uses Lemmy, though. I’m sure Lemmy will gain user blockable instances eventually, assuming the devs can find a way to do it without killing the database performance.
While instances will be the correct place to check it, it appears that, at least while Threads don’t have federation enabled, blocking it does not show up on that list.

On Kbin, users can block whole servers, but also subscribe to whole servers.

I mean, its easy to do the switch. I started on lemmy and switched to kbin and it feels just so much more modern and welcoming.
How do you do that? I’ve fiddled with it recently, because of the flood of German posts from feddit.de, I can’t speak a lick of German.
Huh? I blocked lemmygrad.ml from showing up for me.

It looks like you’re right! You can’t block instances your server doesn’t know about, I didn’t know that.
A very peculiar design choice.
It still shows up in Admin Settings, so I have to assume that once threads starts federating it will get blocked.
Hmm, you’re right. It seems I simply forgot to save the blacklist after modifying it.
