The large instances usually subscribe to most of the others but not every instance is equal. You should go to other instances (you don’t have to join) and check their “all” feeds. You’ll definitely see differences.

How do I blacklist a whole instance from my view?

I believe that's a current feature request and we're limited to blocking each community for the time being, sorry.

May I ask why would you?

There are just certain instances that I wouldn't want to see, like foreign language ones?

New to the fediverse, so perhaps I'm not thinking about this correctly, but if could blacklist a whole instance, rather than certain magazines/subs/whatever they are called, it would be easier than playing a game of wack-a-mole.
