I'm looking for a way to sort of blog on Lemmy. On Reddit I could do it by posting to my own profile (note: not editing my own profile, rather literally creating a post and assigning it to my profile). I doubt anyone ever read them, but they were just stuff about what I was doing that didn't really belong in any particular subreddit.

For example, I want to write about my take on the different Fediverse iterations I've set up, on what works and what doesn't. I could post that to a Technology community, I suppose, but I don't think it really belongs there. This is more of a status report on my thoughts than anything else.

I've heard that kbin allows microblogging, but kbin is INCREDIBLY laggy so far. I'm more comfortable here. So...is it possible?

You can follow a Lemmy account from Mastodon, but afaik there's no following users on Lemmy from Lemmy.

That's a feature that should be added to Lemmy, I think. I liked having the option to follow the posts and comments of certain people on Reddit. It was useful!

Which makes me wonder if we have the option to block users, too? That was even more valuable. There were a lot of people I ended up blocking on Reddit.

You can block people. I think there's also a community block but I'm not sure if it's working.
