I've heard it be encouraged that users should curate their own experience on Lemmy by blocking accounts, communities, and/or instances that you don't want to see. I imagine I'm not the only one curious how my total compares to others'

I'm at 142, and I'm unsure if I should pretend to be bashful about that total

About 20 and growing. I also do it for my mental health. Social media isn't a place I want to take too seriously so my blocks are about avoiding people who seem agitated or seeking to create or participate in conflict with other members.

I'm thinking about clearing out my blocks every year just to get a sense of the land again, maybe when I'm feeling better I'll do that.

140 in 2 months sounds like a lot to me. Are you not blocking communities? That might be more efficient?

Sometimes I switch to an anonymous account to see what I'm missing out on, and it turns out I am missing a lot of content lol.

Tbf, I went out of my way a few times when I was bored, looking for people to block. And specifically from the communities I like- a sort of proactive pruning lol
