I accidentally blocked a user while I was on his profile page, but I can’t unblock him. Despite that user being blocked right now, the “Block user” button remains active and with its original function.

    Go to settings, inside the “Blocks” tab, click the “x” button on the right of of the blocked user name under the “Blocked users” settings.

    Try if this works

      It worked. Thank you.

      Just a note for the developers in case they come across this post: Maybe the “Block user” button in the user profile page should change to “Unblock user” once the user has been blocked.

      edit: I am using the web version.

          In Jerboa the block button still says block after you block a community. I assume it’s the same for users.

          If it were definitely a bug I would open an issue there, but since it’s an improvement that will probably only make a difference for a few people, I prefer not to comment anything on GitHub because they are probably already overloaded with improvement suggestions in other parts of the software.

    Piggy backing on this, and I know it’s probably not high on the to do list, considering… But can we get some “not interested” option for communities? I’ve been blocking communities because I’m not interested, and they’re clogging up the all feed (not really enough in my subbed feed to keep things going). But I don’t necessarily want to block a community all the time. There are things I might want to seek out from time to time, but don’t necessarily want showing me all their new posts, either.
