Smaller Blocklist after update to 5.0

Why is the list with "Domains on Blocklist" smaller after upgrade to v5.0?

In v4.x it was ~140.000.

Run pihole -g from a terminal and the output will show you why certain lists or domains have not been added.

Maybe because of a change in 5.0

Improved parsing of imported blocklists. The gravity script will now show how many domains were not able to be imported, and provide some examples of why

There is also an example Screenshot in the blog post.

Or, maybe an Adlist serving host is down.

Thx. This one

That list was discontinued a while back and has been removed from the Pi-hole default lists. Since you don't have a cached local copy, it can't load this list. Delete it from your adlists collection.
