Here is a good FAQ on block lists. Note that Pi-Hole uses lists formatted in HOSTS format.

How do I add additional block lists to Pi-hole?

Pi-hole's Default Block Lists List Formats It's very important that whatever lists you decide to add to Pi-hole are in HOSTS format. Pi-hole's knows how to parse these lists.

Recommendation - use lists that work with Pi-Hole. Wally3K lists meet this criteria.
