I accidentally blocked a user (lemmy.world)

Like the title says, I accidentally blocked someone. I tapped the three dots under someone's post and then accidentally tapped again as "block user" fell under my thumb. This user doesn't seem like someone I want to block, so I would like to unblock them. I found the "blocklist" under my profile, which says it lists blocked instances, communities and users; but (while I haven't blocked any instances), I only see communities. That said, it's not allowing me to scroll through the blocked list, so possibly the blocked user is lower in the list. If I navigate to the user in question, I see how to block them again, but no option to unblock them.

How do I find a blocked user and how do I unblock them? Thanks in advance.

I noticed that I can't scroll through the blocklist if I start where the communities are listed (the red X in the picture). If I start on the left side (blue square), I can scroll without any issues. Does this work for you?

It does! Thank you!

Unfortunately, this does not appear to include blocked users (unless I scrolled past them, but I don't think I did).

I really like Connect, it reminds me of RiF which was my favorite way to experience Reddit, but I think it needs some work. No disrespect to the developers.

Yeah, there should be a list of blocked users after the list of blocked communities. If I recall, I have had to swipe the app away and re-open it before I see updates to the blocklist.

Do you at least see the section for blocked users?

Thank you for continuing to try.

I don't, but I haven't blocked anyone else. Maybe one of the times I tapped "block user" it was actually "unblock" ever if the menu didn't adjust.

If I browse to the user, it works, but I'm not sure if that indicates whether they're blocked.

Thanks again.
