Star Citizen subreddit has gone private. I’m surprised there are so few in the Lemmy community. Is there another defacto option I missed during the chaos?

    That happens sometimes with some communities from external servers. You are subscribed. You should see posts in your feed.

      After looking around a bit, it looks like I’m not the only one having this problem on lemmy.ml (and probably other) communities. You’re probably right that it’s just a visual thing.

      Still reading as pending for me, but I guess I’ll see if it’s actually subscribed when/if posting here picks up and has a theoretical chance to start showing up on my front page.

      Edit: Just saw a post from here on my front page, so I guess I am subscribed despite apparently still being in a pending state.

        lemmy.ml is way overloaded. That is why federation is important and not to centralize on a single instance, spread the load out over multiple networks. The fact that you are on a different server is good, but lemmy.ml still has to process your subscription.

        says a lemmy.ml user that still has to move out

        I’m also stuck on “pending”. This problem might be preventing this community from gaining traction.
