If you block a server using the "domain block" feature on Mastodon, this will cause you to lose any follows or followers you have on that server. The exact number of follows/followers you would lose are shown at the top of the warning when you do the block.
However, if you have done the block accidentally or if you have changed your mind about the block, here is a guide to how you can unblock the server and restore your follows and followers:

If a user blocks an instance then what they actually do is mute it so they don't see any posts from users on that instance
However users on that instance can still see the blocking users posts
It's not a true block
Unless that's changed recently

Yeah, the server block is sort of half-way between a block and a mute. That's covered in a separate guide at fedi.tips/blocking-and-muting-…
This new guide is just for people who want to undo a server block's effects 🙂

The moderation here is excellent, and what slips thru gives me a view into the nonsense. Rarely have to report, easier to just ignore.
BTW, Nicole is in hospice.

I agree, the Github issue suggests hiding this option a bit more as it has more potential for causing havoc than just blocking a single user.
