Hi there - I joined Lemmy a few days ago and subscribed to a bunch of communities. A large number of them are still stuck on “Subscription Pending”. Why is this? Is there any way I can get my subscriptions to go from pending to active? Thanks!

Edit: 2023-06-30: I’m still seeing this problem. :/

    This doesn’t work. “Subscription Pending” is just unclickable text, not a button.

      I had to open up the community (just clicked the name in the community list) and then press the Subcribe Pending button. When I clicked the Subscribe button again, it looked like it wasn’t doing anything but about 10 seconds later it switched to Joined.

      I’d need to double-check but I believe that the subscription still works even though it shows as pending.

        Yeah, I tried that, too, but every time I did, it went to Subscribe Pending. :/ No luck. Thanks anyway.

          I’m having the same issues - so it’s not you and probably more systemic than it appears.

            Going through that issue as well. It clears up in a while if I re-attempt the pending ones, but not always. :/ Worse on the android app
