So if I started a piefed instance and wanted to host a 196 community I'd have to edit the list, but would every single other instance also have to or no?
Yes, every other instance would also refuse to federate unless they also changed their code. Because the blocklist is baked right into the code, so anyone just pulling and running it as-is will fail to federate.
It's odd that communities with those names load if they're hosted on Lemmy, tho. Or maybe I've just only been on Piefed Instances that undid the list.
Or you could pull it in manually. It's just that the automated startup would not do it for you, for communities with these keywords. Nothing prevents anyone from pulling in the communities manually though.
