You can block communities and users on Lemmy. You can't block instances, but that wouldn't make sense since you don't see their content unless you go there or subscribe to a community. Maybe blanket blocking users from an instance would be useful.
On connect for lemmy we have the option to block instances.
Lemmy has apps.
Not sure if Lemmy is the same, but my understanding of the fediverse structure was that if someone subbed to a magazine/community on another instance then it would show up in All for everyone logged into the same instance. On kbin I have never needed to sub to anything on lemmy.world or beehaw or whatever because someone else subbed to it first and it just shows up on my All feed.
A mild example of blocking an instance would be if there was one that was entirely in a language I don't know then I have the option to block the instance instead of playing whack a mole with each magazine/community to hide the content that I can't read.
On Lemmy you only see local communities by default. On Mastodon you see posts from instances that the admin linked. Idunno about kbin etc
