Lemmy devs really need to rethink the way this currently works. Users are trying to filter the signal to noise ratio on this platform, and this isn’t helping.

Users are not blocked, which is strange, but I have the same issue/feature. Only instances are blocked. I guess they have a different definition of blocking than I have.
Yup, it would be much better if it just blocked all users from the instance as well. Or it at least gave you the option for the shittier instances.
Sadly- just blocking the instance doesn’t block the users of said instance. You have to do that manually.
If it helps, just say some negative but true shit about China or Russia, they’ll all flock to smugly quote some dumb shit from Stalin, and then you can just block them all in one fell swoop.
You still see the users of the blocked instance if they post to a not blocked instance. You only really block all the communities on the instance with an instance block.
