Django nested if statement giving me a strange error

I have 2 if statements right next to each other to check for to see if a user is following another user. I am getting a weird error when I attempt to close both of the if statements. I have a block content and endblock at the top and bottom of the page. I also have a load humanize tag. I have attempted to add a endblock tag and I tried reshuffling things around. I am kinda stuck but I know I'm forgetting something. Can any help me out?

Here is the code

{% extends 'core/base.html' %} {% load humanize %} {% block content %}
<div class="container">
  <div class="columns">
    <div class="column is-12">
      <h1 class="title">{{ request.user.username }}</h1>
      <p>Followers: {{ user.foxyprofile.followed_by.count }}</p>
      <p>Follows {{ user.foxyprofile.follows.count }}</p>
      {% if user != request.user %} {% if request.user.foxyprofile in
      user.foxyprofile.followed_by.all %}
      <a href="{% url 'unfollow_foxy' user.username %}" class="button is-danger"
        >Unfollow</a
      >
      {% else %}
      <a href="{% url 'follow_foxy' user.username %}" class="button is-success"
        >Follow {{ user.username}}</a
      >
      {% endif %} {% endif %}
    </div>
  </div>
  <div class="columns">
    <div class="column is-8">
      <div class="wrapper-fox">
        {% for fox in user.foxs.all %}
        <div class="fox">
          <p class="name">{{ fox.created_by.username }}</p>
          <p>{{ fox.body }}</p>
          <p class="info">{{ fox.created_at|naturaltime}}</p>
          <hr />
          {% endfor %}
        </div>
      </div>
    </div>
  </div>
</div>
{% endblock %}

and the error I'm getting...

Invalid block tag on line 17: 'endif', expected 'endblock'. Did you forget to register or load this tag?

You should not add a line break in the second if statement, a tag is fully specified on a single line. This thus means that the {% if … %} tags [Django-doc] look like:

{% if user != request.user %}
    {% if request.user.foxyprofile in user.foxyprofile.followed_by.all %}
        …
    {% else %}
        …
    {% endif %}
{% endif %}

or you put the two {% if … %} tags on the same line:

{% if user != request.user %}{% if request.user.foxyprofile in user.foxyprofile.followed_by.all %}
        …
{% else %}
        …
{% endif %}{% endif %}

You can also write the {% if … %}s on two lines and the two {% endif %} on the same line. The only thing that is not allowed is splitting a tag over multiple lines in the template file.

In Django the template parser can not handle template tags on multiple lines, or at least not at the time of writing.
