Hello, since yesterday I was trying to join new communities but the status is “pending”, always. No luck today. Anyone knows if it is my problem or something doesn’t work? Communities I’m trying to join are quite populated so I found it strange. Thanks
Lemmy is still pretty early software, it says pending for me too but it acts like I’m subscribed so I’m assuming it’s a weird visual bug
Lemmy 0.18 is coming soon and should hopefully fix some of these issues
Basically, all communities in lemmy.ml are marked as pending on my side, since about last week (that I’ve created my lemmy account)
Still, I can see their new posts in my Subscribed filter; so it works even if marked as pending
Communities on others instances I’ve tried never waited for more than a minute before subscription success
I believe it’s a visual bug. All the communities I’ve subscribed to show up in my subscribed list and in my subscribed feed even if Lemmy still lists it as “pending”.
It’s a known bug with Lemmy, not stemming from Jerboa.
Maybe it’s the volume of people migrating from reddit that is straining the servers, just a guess
Also not on exactly the same topic but how do I unblock instances that I accidentally blocked ?
