What does it mean and how do I fix it?
From what I gathered (that is, an internet search), it’s a UI-side glitch. Lemmy IS just a prototype that is being put through the meat grinder with all the Reddit refugees.
In my experience? It doesn’t even make a difference. You’ll see “subscribe pending” communities on your sub feed like normal.
If you unsub and resub a few times it should work anyway.
I’ve had pending subscriptions for 5 days now. Are things overloaded that badly?
Try cancelling and trying again.
Yep that did it. I had to do it like 5 times but eventually got subscribed. Thanks!
Some servers, like lemmy.ml or beehaw are aching under their respective load, so everything takes a while. Couldn’t even log into lemmy.world, which is why I wandered off to sh.itjust.works
I love this instance and I hope it continues putting people off with its name.
I signed up because of the name. Seemed like my fellow smartasses would be here.
