How to subscribe to a community in another instance?
When I subscribe in a community in another instance it always says "pending " in yellow. I can comment but I am not officially subscribed to the community. E.g. subscribing to "![email protected]"
Maybe I just need to wait.
Edit: It says "subscribe pending" in yellow
Disregard it, it's a bug and you're subscribed.
They seem to have issues. For some people it takes ages, for some it works instantly, for some it simply doesn't.
You do need to wait. lemmy.ml specifically has experienced heavy load recently and doesn't always process your requests instantly
Yeah it does that sometimes, usually with lemmy.ml
If it doesn't get subscribed try clicking on pending and then subscribe again.
The pending still remains. However, it is currently listed on my subscriptions. I think that means I am subscribed.
A note for folks who didn't know this - if you're using kbin, when you search for lemmy communities to subscribe to you should remove the ! from the search query (eg, use [email protected] instead of ![email protected]). This way you will find the community instead of related posts.
I'm replying from kbin to prove to others that it's possible and that you are correct :)
for communities on other instances (that are federating with your home instance), search (from your home instance) for !communityname@domainname
that works, most of the time. otherwise it's a federation replication issue or a bug.
Weird. I usually have to click "Subscribe" a few times to get the yellow "pending" status. Kinda sucks.
