Unfortunately you really can’t, not trivially I mean. Also, lemm.ee’s whole schtick is that they don’t defederate from anyone.
There is a “instance block” in Lemmy, but horribly misnamed as all it does is mute communities but still allows users to troll you from the instance in other communities, such as this one
Move to PieFed, which allows true blocking of all users from an instance, without needing admin approval
Stay on Lemmy and switch to either the Sync or Connect app - I’ve not heard of any others that can do this but if someone knows of one please tell me?
Ask your instance to defederate from them - except for Lemm.ee that’s extremely unlikely to happen
Switch to another instance that has already done so
Develop a web browser filter, probably using something like Ublock
Create your own instance, and then you can deferate anyone you want
Lemmy is fairly authoritian for non-admin end-users, but we use what is provided to us (which is why I’m ecstatically happy with the more fully featured PieFed!:-).
Well, I definitely could have taken more time to phrase that more precisely.:-) They obviously don’t refuse to defederate from “anyone” - as there are 4 blocked instances listed there - but it’s more that they are proud of a diversity of opinion, so that e.g. they do not defederate from Hexbear.net or even from Lemmygrad.ml, which most other instances choose to do. Value judgements entirely aside (although if we were to get into such I would prefer to have divided them into opt-in vs. opt-out), many new users of the Fediverse report having gotten confused about being bullied and how to stop it, and then left (as reported on e.g. r/RedditAlternatives) rather than stick around long enough to find out. So lemm.ee puts a lot of the burden of figuring things out, rather than making those decisions for those new joiners.
Me too - and in that case, lemm.ee is always my chief recommendation for those who want that, while for the more mainstream normal audience, especially centrists (if any such still exist) in the USA, Discuss.Online or sopuli.xyz, etc.

Its not that .ee doesn’t defed, they’re just more careful about it.
For example, check lemm.ee/instances compared to lemmy.today/instances.

Yes, I don’t reccommend .ee to newcomers unless they really want to federate with everyone.
