Is there an official blocked communities list and defederated list for each instance? Also can you have the same username on a different instance? I fear we are going to lose people who don't really care that much about the federation stuff and just want to use Lemmy like reddit. Although I guess reddit is similar in that they decide what communities are allowed as well...

Yes you can have the same username on different instances, similar to how email addresses work

Don't think there's an easy way to see blocked communities, but it's easy to see blocked instances with the instances link at the bottom of the page

Yes, "Instances" at the very bottom of the pages
