I wish I didn't see them there

The block ui in the settings could also be a bit more intuitive.

That feature used to be called "block all users from instance", and it delivers exactly as advertised. But you are right, now it is just a "Block" button on the instance page and in the Settings it is called an instance block, which is ambiguously more murky than before and thus confusing.
In any case it blocks all the people from an instance. Ironically it does not block communities housed on that instance, so if someone not from that instance were to post there, and others also not from that instance comment on that post, you can read those. Although it still delivers on the promise not to show content from users on that instance... except for the fact that it now seems misnamed.
You could open up a support issue for this on the GitHub page?

I'm only into my second drink
- I need a third to be able to remember such details properly!? 
Also I guess I could have misunderstood you: you mean that you are seeing content from communities located on that instance (but not from users from that instance!) in the Topics, right? As opposed to blocking a community and having that still show up in Topics, or some such?

i still can't figure out how to block stuff from the settings menu XD

There's a related issue, could expand this one a bit more
More granular way to block instances (block only the communities, not the users)

You mean in the 'topic communities' list in the sidebar? I've done that now, it'll be in the next release.

Yes, you’re right the issue is that after blocking the instance one was able to see the blocked communities on the topic’s sidebar though thankfully not the users.

There is no need to - it is usually far easier to do it some other way, like to block all users from an instance click someone's account name and click More to see several options including to block just that one user but also an option to block all users from that instance.

PieFed is not always intuitive, but generally works great
