When I was trying to subscribe to a news community from another instance of lemmy, the button read “Subscribe Pending” What does this mean? Does it mean that they have to approve me before I subscribe, or does it mean that the two instances have to communicate with each other, or something else?
You must log in or register to comment.
Subscriptions to other instances is handled on their end which means there’s a bit of delay. It’s nowhere near as long as the GUI makes it seem. Really you can click off right away and it will be fine; you don’t have to wait.
These can however get stuck sometimes. It’s harmless but you can fix it by re-subscribing and then reloading the page.
I thought the same but I clicked off and when I clicked back it was subscribed, it’s purely visual.
It’s a visual bug. You should be subscribed.
i think it’s just a bit of lag
