Mastodon now has support for importing server-level blocklists. This allows admins to import ready-made blocklists instead of having to block hundreds of servers one at a time.
If you want a source of blocklists, you might want to try here:
➡️ https://writer.oliphant.social/oliphant/the-oliphant-social-blocklist
There are many different lists on that site, with the criteria for each explained in detail.
For instructions on how to import blocklists onto your server:

@homegrown Why the “bare minimum list” contains Udongein.xyz?
It’s a good instance with pretty strict rules and comfy community, that has only one reason it gets fediblocked - it doesn’t block most other instances that are contained in such blocklists for actual reasons. It’s their moderation policy, and blocking them for that reason is childish and hurts fediverse without actually providing any benefit for moderation.
DO NOT reccommend automated block lists that don’t least reasons for blocks and do “block that people or we will block you” as “minimal” setup.
