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

None. I was on Reddit since 2008 and didn't block anyone there either. If I argue with someone over trivial bullshit it doesn't necessarily mean that they add nothing to every discussion they find themselves contributing to, so I just move on and just ignore them the old fashioned way.

I do block communities that are of absolutely no interest to me, but it has to be like 0% interest
