Saw a couple users I have blocked showing up in feeds. When I go to their profile it doesn't load anything, showing they are blocked, but yet their posts are still populating

At a guess, it's handled (poorly) server side.

If that's the case, there's still the option of maintaining a block list locally and filtering content from users on that list client-side. The optimal solution would be to fix it server-side if this is the case but a local filter would achieve the same thing in the meantime

This. There's clearly a filtering implementation in place locally as it's clearing the blocked user's comments from my inbox. They just reappear when I refresh. That filter method just needs to be called again on the local data and a list of blocked userIds stored locally.
