TL;DR: questions:
EDIT: I’m not aking how to fix it for a single community, I’m asking how to handle it for >200 subscriptions (thanks!)

  • If a community says “Subscribe pending”, is it possible that their posts do not appear on the feed?
  • If the answer to the previous question is yes: is there any script to fix “Subscribe pending” issues on batch?

Long version:

I started using Lemmy some days ago and when subscribing to some communities (on other instances) I got the “Subscribe pending” message. I’m aware it’s a common issue (see search for Subscribe pending in this community) but, because what I read is that the bug was the message itself (but you were indeed subscribed) I ignored them.

Today I took a look again at the issue and I saw that some people recommend un-subbing and re-subbing again. The thing is, now I’m subscribed to more than 200 communities, so it would take a while to do it manually.

Thanks!

    I do enjoy how no one is answering hour question, and I sadly will not either because I do not know.

    That said, some communities that I’ve gotten the “Subscription Pending” message will sometimes revert to unsubscribed when I check back a few days.

    I’d suggest checking a few key communities you want to be sure uoure subscribed of manually in a few days, or watch your feed in “Subscriptions” or w.e it is called in your browser/app (Connect ftw)

      the “Subscription Pending” message will sometimes revert to unsubscribed when I check back a few days.

      Thanks for the warning! I’m doing a backup of the subscriptions and will check in a few days.
