Stupid question, but I thought you click the sidebar, and the three options were "join/leave, post, and block".

But now, the ONE time I want to block a community, I don't see the option. So I go to another community, just to see if it looks different. It doesn't.

The communities now only have join/leave, and post. No block.

Edit: Problem solved for me. Should I leave this post up for any future people who ask this? Or should I delete it so future other people don't try to answer a solved question?

Assuming you're using the web UI

Settings -> Blocks tab -> Search for the instance in the "Blocked Instances" section

EDIT: Sorry, I misread and thought you meant a whole instance. But communities can be blocked in the same place, just a different section.

You may preface or append "[solved]" to the post title.

cue X-files theme

Not sure which frontend or app you're using, but at least the default web UI should have a block button for you, as it does for me.
