Blocking an instance in lemmy, just stops direct communication between the two instances. However it does not stop you from seeing their comments or posts on third instances.
So for example you would be able to read this comment, even if lemmy.ca would have blocked slrpnk.net, because we are on sh.itjust.works. In Piefed you would not.
I’m pretty sure that’s not how it works. Even on communities from another instance, I don’t see anything from defederated users.
*A quick rough search and I found this post (https://lemmy.ca/post/49536847) (apologies for the content, it’s just an example). It’s absolutely flooded with hex users “contributions”, but I see none of that.
