I’m fairly new here and was trying to subscribe to some communities from other instances and seem to be having trouble. Are some instances blocked by ours and is there a viewable list of which ones?

Unfortunately the instance you are looking for is blocked and for good reason (super toxic community after they welcomed many people from a banned sub-reddit). I wish more Lemmy instances would block them.
Is this about LemmyGrad? What was the banned sub that they welcomed?
Yes, /r/GenZedong
Well, I guess it was never fully banned, but when it was quarantined a lot of their users switched to Lemmygrad for a while and really harassed everyone else using Lemmy. It quieted down these days, but I rather not take my chances with them.
Ah, that makes perfect sense then.
I see. What did they do to become so generally blocked? I’ve been moving much further left as I get older and was curious about some of their views when I joined Lemmy. I assume it was more than just having leftist opinions. Are they pro Putin or something?
Really a long list of stanning for autocratic mass-murderers, too much to list all here. They are also generally hostile to Anarchists. I think this article sums it up pretty well: https://lib.edist.ro/library/mann-their-anti-imperialism-and-ours
