At the moment, I switch to my user menue, switch to Preferences and to Blockings. There I enter the name of the respective community.
That is how you block communities yes. The next update also has a button to block them from the community page itself.
If you haven't joined the community, you should see this button to block it below where the Subscribe button is.
edit: Also, if you only want to see what you're subscribed to in your timeline, you can click on "Subscribed" where you see "Subscribed Local All" at the top of your timeline. Subscribed will show you communities you're subscribed to on all instances. Local will show posts from all communities only on your local instance, and All will show posts from all communities from all instances (at least, all instances that your local instance is federated with.)
edit 2: after typing that last edit, I see that the original question was asked 9 months ago. Oh well, maybe it's relevant for some of the new people joining.

Rest assured, it was :-)

My ADD is on full swing because I've been on Lemmy for the past month and never noticed that button until you mentioned it (although in my defense, it seems sometimes that button shows up as plain text, not clickable - apparently another UI bug). I finally blocked some silly communities that tended to show up on the "All" listing.

Probably something to do with that bug of very old posts showing up at random on the "Hot" sorting.
