I am seeing posts from this community, I can seemingly create posts and replies, yet it's showing "Subscribe Pending". Is this a bug or is it actually pending?
It is a known bug. I tried to find the source but was not able to to find it again. From what I recall, when it says "Subscribe Pending" you are subscribed, it's just a display issue and should be fixed next release. I'll update if I can find the source
Edit: still not the source I was remembering, but here is an open GitHub issue for this: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ui/issues/1315
I think it is a bug and here's why
I have setup a lemmy instance to understand how it works and hopefully contribute something meaningful
My instance has 2 users, both are subscribed to the same cross-instance community, but only one is showing Subscribe Pending even if I un-sub and re-sub
I am not aware of any approval system to subscribe to a community, so I believe the approval was received the community instance, but the "accept" response data was missed / dropped when returning to your host instance
None of my accounts are on lemmy.ml, and this only seems to happen for me when I subscribe to lemmy.ml communities, so I'd bet lemmy.ml is just struggling with the increased traffic
I know that I've been constantly getting HTTP 500 errors when trying to visit lemmy.ml, so I'd definitely would say its just traffic issues on their side.
