So I want to block hexbear.net. I see it's in the instance blocked list. However I still see their communities on community search. HOWEVER, I also can't block them from my profile, it doesn't give me the option. Known bug? User Error?

I believe you also can't see their newer content. I'm still subscribed to a community in hexbear from before my server blocked it but the last post I can see in it is from before the block.
