There are a couple of instances that are clearly misaligned with my values, but they're very active, so a lot of the communities keep popping up in my feed. I've been blocking the communities, but it would be pretty cool if I could just block the entire instance. I know an instance can defederate from another instance. Is there a way for an individual user to do something similar, short of spinning up an entire instance myself?

Not yet, someone requested this feature and I would like it to to block the NSFW porn instances. I do have NSFW enabled but I still see pictures of SFW girls in my feed from NSFW instances and I would like to just block that stuff from those adult only instances.
I not for lemmy.world blocking or deferating instances in general. But this feature gives the user the choice to block instances while others can allow content from instsnces to flow into their feed if they wish.

One day - social media will break up NSFW tags into actual useful warning tags - so we can mute porn without blocking movie spoilers or troubling news articles and shit like that
Connect lets you block whole instances
I only use FOSS apps. I am sure someday it will be added into Lemmy itself.
