I fat fingered while trying to join a community and accidentally blocked it. I can’t see how to unblock it anywhere. Is there a way to do that that I’m missing? TIA

    I can’t find a setting in the app myself but if you go on the website to the instance you’re registered on and go to settings, there’s a blocks tab you can then go an unblock from there.

    This seems to be one of the most common questions. To me that means that this should be a priority to fix if it is affecting so many people.

      A yes/no prompt would be the most effective way IMO.

        And we should an option in your profile view to unblock. That’s where I would think to go.

          Yeah, makes more sense to me as well.

    If you know the name of the community, you can search it and go to the community page and unblock it from there.

    Or you can go up to your profile on the web -> Settings -> Blocks

    Go to your profile on the website and you can unblock from there. I don’t believe it’s currently possible within Jerboa.

      Yes, it is not possible for now.
      Jerboa developer has a lot of catch-ups to do.

      I haven’t even visited the website version yet, so it never crossed my mind to try that. Thank you!

      It’s different for us Lemmy users. Too unblock a community, you have to go to the community itself and click unblock. Edit: It’s also in settings under blocked on the website

        Hm, title of OPs post has a “(kbin.social)” next to it, so I assumed he was kbin - if I mouse over his name, it does say @lemmy, so guess I should have looked there.

        I’ve only been here for a couple days, still learning the ropes!

        No, it’s still under settings -> blocks, only that they are called communities and not magazines. The user interface and behaviour are identical though.
