There shouldn’t be a ‘join’ block in these blocks.  
If you want to add multiple items to your list, click the blue gear icon in the ‘list’ block and add more slots to your list.

If you’re referring to a list of the same items multiple times, you should create a variable which is a list of these items, then refer to the variable.
