How is IPFS related to blockchain? On a technical level that is.

AFAIK IPFS is somewhat related to FileCoin which runs on "a blockchain". But not IPFS.

Or am I missing something?

Correct, IPFS is not a blockchain - while both are merkle-dags ('directed acyclic graphs' of hash-linked data), blockchains have all nodes sync the state collectively, while IPFS instead shards state across the entire network (such that each node maintains its own filestore).
