I only see the communities and instances I subscribe to, anyway. The local ones right when I log in too, but that's all surrealism and hacker stuff on my instance, which I'm partial to.

Looks like I've blocked 2? One for bigotry reasons I can't recall, and the other for being just having annoying posting habits (applying a license to every comment like those facebook chainletters).
no users, but i have blocked 117 (mostly porn) communities and 2 entire instances
None. I don't engage enough for it to be an issue. I also know how to move on with real life if things get spicy (which happened on Reddit a lot).
None? I've never felt the need to. I'm not categorically opposed to it, but it's never occurred to me that I should block a particular user.
Just that annoying ass bias checker bot
13 blocked users, 10 blocked communities, 2 blocked instances.
The blocked users are just trolls looking for arguments.
The blocked communities are mainly ones on my home instance that have no interest for me, but were appearing in "Local". Nothing against them, just no interest.
The blocked instances were ones that brigaded sensitive topics with political fanaticism. I was finding myself trying to have discussions with people who weren't open to it, but would fiercely respond to any criticism of a viewpoint.
There was one user that was constantly creating communities for Japanese cartoons
Fuck me it was like swatting flies, but then I realised I should just block the user!
Ta-dah, no more suspiciously-pseudo-pedo shit cluttering up my "all"
None, I've seen hateful speech here and when I do I report it and carry on... I don't dislike reading news or opinions I personally disagree with however.
Whoops, missed the communities portion of the question. I don't browse all, I have a specific list of communities I've subscribed to that I read through in New order.
Zero.
I mainly look at my subscribed feed, which contains mostly topics I want to see in communities moderated well enough I rarely see anybody being horrible.
I dunno, the browser lags when I scroll down it.
It's trivial to build huge ones up. This account is only as old as the reddit bullshit in 23, and I know I'm over a hundred at least.
Humans are assholes. On the internet, they don't work as hard to pretend they're not. And, they'll often go harder at it than anywhere else. So you block a lot if you want to avoid future interactions with the same asshole.
I'm probably an agent of chaos because I've blocked nothing, no one, nada. Don't get me wrong, I abhor some of the bad takes I've seen, and I certainly have had to hide furry porn from family before I think that got defed'd, but I kind of like the weird chaos of c/All.
But then again, the worst of it isn't on LemmyWorld, I know what Hexbear and Lemmygrad look like and I'm not sure I could stay triple zero on bans.
Every moe community that popped up. A few other communities for season ranging from stupid to vile atrocity.
One instance (a mostly moe server)I guess
A couple dozen users.
I block a lot of instances because they're specific to interests I don't care about. I've blocked 2 particularly obstinate users.
All of lemmy.world which is now blocked on my instance.
Curious why that is
How do you find these numbers?
Edit:
Users 55 Communities 12 Instances 0
Edit #2:
BTW, this was easy to find in the default interface for my instance (Settings > Block tab) but I still can't find it on Photon. π
There's probably a better way but...
Open the page, right click, inspect, paste these in there and possibly expand the node list for users.
Users
document.querySelectorAll('.person-listing')
Comunities:
document.querySelectorAll('.community-link')
I had 0 users, but 69 communities.
DOM me daddy βπ»
I manually counted them by counting how many in the list fit on my screen at one time (15 for me on Eternity), then seeing how many screens worth of scrolling I had to do to get to the bottom, and multiplying
Well played.
a few dozen, mostly hexbear users. Though that was mostly from when I started using Lemmy, I haven't felt the need to block anyone in a long time. My list of blocked communities is much larger.
I browse by all, so mostly I've just blocked a shit ton of porn instances, communities, and accounts.
A few dozen users, mostly bots or people posting in non-English with their accounts setup incorrectly to tag it as English.
Actual humans who I think are idiots or trolls, I'm more likely to just tag them instead of blocking them. I see the tag and it reminds me not to waste my time answering them, but I can still see other people making interesting responses. Like there's a chronically depressed dude who posts frequently, asks for advice, then insults anyone who replies. He caught me twice, then I tagged him and I no longer take his bait. But some other people who reply to him have genuinely good comments and I can still see them.
133 communities and just 45 users. An old alt of mine is among them for a reason I can't recall. Login trouble or something?
Edited for fat fingers.
zero, across all platforms
0, Iβm just raw dogging /all (minus whomever .world is defederated from)
3? I generally don't care, but some people are insufferable. They spew nonsense meant only to get a rise out of others and have a chip on their shoulder. Interacting with their existence is a waste of mine, so bye bye.

8 users. Many communities.
Just a handful...
Mostly non-english instances or subs that I wouldn't be able to read anyway.
and just a few users, who are big spammers.
A few. Mostly extremist mods who censor a comment I made that didn't fit their echo chamber. They seem to feel the need to message you after, to reiterate they only allow their views to be expressed, and to flex. I just block em.
Blocking desalines using the software he helped write is very satisfying, in a sad sort of way.

I donβt think Iβve added to the list in months.
1 instance, 3 communities, 91 users. I'm pretty reserved with the block button.
