#AskFedi:
Does #Pixelfed not allowing blocking or reporting?

I haven't found a way to block an account, and my report was stopped with an unidentified error.

Hi Acin,

If you click on the ... icon in the top right corner of a post there should be a "Report" link.

If you go to a profile and click ... in the top right, there should be a "Block" link.

If you're not seeing these options, then something has gone wrong and it may be a bug.

@FediTips @Stomata

Thank you! I've found the block button in the web view. Reporting gives me an error both there and in PixelDroid, but as long as blocking works, that's good enough for now.

If it's giving an error that is a bug too! I can report this if you want, if you tell me what the error says?

[shadowfals@toot.cat]

@FediTips sure. The error message says only, "Could not send report."

@shadowfals

If it's okay to ask, which Pixelfed server was this?

[shadowfals@toot.cat]

@FediTips sure. It's Metapixl.

Thanks!

Hey @metapixl Just wondered, have you noticed error messages when users are doing reports via the Metapixl web client?
