When I try to subscribe to a community and it says “Pending”, what does that mean from a technical perspective?

    I’m getting the same.

    Also, I sometimes have to press join twice to join. Not sure if that’s just me?

      I am also having the same issue it seems to be primarily lemmy.ml communities that have this so I think its a server load issue

        It’s definitely a server load issue. If I remember correctly, lemmy.ml has upgraded their server today, so 🤞🤞🤞 maybe we won’t see so many load issues

      As far as I can tell, you only need to press once. Pressing again just updates the UI, and pending means that the API call is still waiting (probably because of server overload)
