[Feature Request] Make block lists searchable and tappable (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

The request for this post isn't specific to a difference found in the TestFlight version, but rather an adjustment that I think may be useful.

Being an avid user of the block list system to keep my All feed manageable, I'm glad that the functionality is well integrated into Arctic. Although most users' block lists are likely short enough to make a search bar for them unnecessary, lists beyond several hundred entries become more difficult to search. Although at present I accomplish this by going to my user settings page in Safari and using the keyword search tool, an in-app solution would be helpful.

As I sometimes want to review a community's posts before deciding whether or not to remove it from my blocklist, the ability to tap on an entry (user or community) to view its page would also be helpful. The end user could then choose to disable the block from there via the existing UI should they wish to review the content of recent posts, before deciding whether or not to reinstate the block.

Had a question about instance blocking that I didn't want to create a whole thread for, so I thought I'd post it here as a reply instead.

In blocking all the communities I wasn't interested in, I noticed that several were neither loadable nor blockable.

In some cases, this seems to be an issue with the community itself, such as [email protected] not being blockable via Arctic nor the settings page of my lemmy.dbzer0.com account. In noting down the communities for which this occurred, I noticed that several have since disappeared, so perhaps federation glitches were the cause in other cases.

Yet for some (retarded.dev, xn--mh-fkaaaaaa.schuetze.link, endlesstalk.org, overctrl.dbzer0.com, lemmy.nine-hells.net, lm.boing.icu, flamewar.social, lemmy.parastor.net, and lemmy.tespia.org), I wasn't able to block the instances or their communities via Arctic, but was able to do so via the settings page of my lemmy.dbzer0.com account. Not a major issue, but still thought I'd make note of it.

Thanks again for your hard work in developing Arctic!
