1 instance (can you guess which one?)
around 100-150 communities (mostly because they are in a language i dont speak)
and like, 5-6 users. a couple bots, and a couple far-right cringebros. used to have a whole lot more, but i recently unblocked everyone and am now less agressive with the block button
Surprisingly few. I usually block people who think it's a good idea to incorporate my comments into their witch hunt and go my way with a pitchfork. That is, those who use offensive or derogatory tone instead of arguments.

no idea how to check block list, it's mostly just people who think personal attacks are acceptable. I have zero tolerance for idiots in my old age and it makes life so much better.
I block a lot of instances because they're specific to interests I don't care about. I've blocked 2 particularly obstinate users.
8 users. Many communities.
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.
About 220 users and a ton of communities, 2 instances. Mostly for posting nsfw shit (i have that turned off so it shouldn't appear), being outrageously stupid or bigoted and sports/anime. No regrets, not bashful about it. Different opinions are fine but I don't have time for the stupid and hateful kind.
Only 16 user. I don't have an issue with most people. However since I brows mostly new content from All, I got to block some communities (166 so far) or I'll see gay/trans content, content in foreign languages or Russian propaganda. I don't have anything personal per se against the former, I'm not homophobic, I just don't want to see nude males constantly. Other trans communities are just fine, like when they do memes or news.
Sadly the later part, Lemmy is basically Reddit/r/worldnews but worse and spread over multiple communities without curation, allowing for a lot of propaganda. I don't need content of people telling me that communism, which failed in their shit hole of a country, is the answer to capitalism.
However I see that this is a constant battle of the instance owner trying to keep ahead, so some of those are probably blocked instance wide already by now.
This will become less of an issue once the content we subscribed to is more and therefore we don't need to brows All to get enough entertainment. It's getting better by the day.
