For instance, can I block posts made to specific groups from my feed? Apologies, I’m a Reddit refuge and there’s a bit of content I’d rather not have to weed through.

I cannot for the life of me figure out how to manually block a community. I don’t see the option to do so.
Hello fellow refugee, although I’m on android I’m assuming it’ll be somewhat similar. But it’ll take me a click or two on the community name itself, and usually on the top right there’s the three dot drop down menu. Connect app shows one of the options as “block community”, and Liftoff app shows as “block [community name]”. I’m still scrolling through “all” and seeing what I want to keep or not, so I’ve yet to hit refresh. But hope that somewhat helps.
I’m using an app called “WefWef” it’s very much like Apollo for Reddit. I don’t have that option though. I’m sure they’ll get around to to.
Bummer
It’ll get there. I really like what I see so far. Very much like Apollo.
Try Memmy, at the moment it has more features built in. And it has good ux I just checked wefwef and it doesn’t seem you can block communities right now
I can’t speak for wefwef, but I can confirm that the functionality exists within Lemmy. On desktop, and on Jerboa or Connect on Android, I see the option to block communities.

I’ll see if I can talk you through it. Are you on your phone or desktop? Apple or android? Are you using an app or a browser?
Phone. And app I believe. It’s an iPhone. I see the three dots and when I select it- I see:
Submit Post
Subscribe
sidebar.
No option to filter or block.
Ok. On the Memmy app you search for communities
select the one you want to block. Select the three dots and then block community. 
You’d need to do this for each community.
On the lemmy.world website on in safari, you click the three lines in the top right hand corner
type “politics” in the search field 
select the community you want to block (community names are in green) 
open the sidebar tab and select “block community” 
.
I can’t find a way to block them on the wefwef app, but apps are updating and developing rapidly so it won’t be long before you can. I hope that helps!
I tried to add photos to each step for you but it will only allow one, sorry!
I’m guessing you may have been posting from the app…As a heads-up, it did allow multiple images to post, and it’s visible when viewed via web browser. I’m almost inclined not to write what I’m about to write next, 'cause the current look of your post is like a wonderful artifact of this transitional time, but…Uh…
You might want to edit the post so the image links are below each sentence instead of mid-sentence. On the web view of things, it looks like you made a really fun abstract piece of text & screenshots, which is kinda fun to look at yet not the easiest to follow for info necessarily.
