Sorry if this is a dumb question. Still learning how to use the platform

The other thing to note with this bug, at least in my experience and what I have seen, even if it shows pending it will still show up in your ‘Subscribed’ feed. So while visually it is inaccurate, it seems to actually function properly. To be seen if the upgrade to 0.18.1 has any effect.

Just to be clear, are you saying that when you go to your profile page, the sublemmys that you have ‘subscription pending’ for do not show up there??

It happens when you sub to a community on a different instance than yours. Instances take a long time to talk to each other, therefore, you get ‘pending’. I don’t think it’s a bug.

Same thing as everyone else. I find that clicking twice to get it to say pending then leaving it be works. I’m subscribed to the sublemmy even though it says pending, so I ignore it knowing I’m good. The fediverse is still really buggy, especially since they weren’t quite ready for the massive migration from reddit. (am refugee myself)

The whole thing definitely isn’t prepared for the users exodus from reddit. I also found that new site versions aren’t easy to implement as the admin of lemmy.world has rolled back a couple times and has decided to stay on v0.17 for now

Yeah, Jerboa updated and now I can’t even open the app. I’m thinking it may also be because the server version for my main instance (lemmy.world) is too low. I did see somewhere that they hope to get things fixed and updated in a week or so. They want to get the captcha back I believe

It’s a bug. Just click the button again to unsubscribe, and then click it again to attempt subscribing again. You may have to do this a bunch of times, and may have to leave for an hour/day/whatever and come back. But eventually it will work.

In my case, the button doesn’t even change, but I totally ignore it, then later I see I am actually properly subscribed.

A bit weird, maybe just a UI issue?
