Pi-hole not blocking or updating block lists

Just finished a clean install and everything is up and running however nothing is being blocked. I ran pihole -r and this did not have an effect. I tried pihole -g and noted that the "Pulling blocklist source into range" was marked red and nothing was being pulled in to gravity.

debug token is q2y88qi3pm

you might be running into a bug we recently found that tries to load all of every list into memory. what effect does runiing gravity on its own have pihole -g ?

Running pihole -g gives me the following;

[i] Neutrino emissions detected...
[✗] Pulling blocklist source list into range
[i] No source list found, or it is empty

[i] Number of domains being pulled in by gravity: 0
[i] Number of whitelisted domains: 6
[i] Number of blacklisted domains: 0
[✓] Parsing domains into hosts format
[✓] Cleaning up stray matter

[✓] Force-reloading DNS service
[✓] DNS service is running
[✓] Pi-hole blocking is Enabled

This is the issue that sent me here. Nothing is being block. I'm currently running stretch off a desktop clean install. Running vDev and Unbound is that helps. I have a rpi that is set up EXACTLY the same that is functional. I'm considering a full reinstall.

Pi-hole version is v3.3-181-ga7e7680 (Latest: v3.3.1)
AdminLTE version is v3.2.1-195-g4355bde2 (Latest: v3.3)
FTL version is vDev-5ecab0a (Latest: v3.0)

this means /etc/pihole/adlists.list is either not there or an empty file
add these lines save the file and re-run gravity
