    Well half the things I’ve tried to sub to say ‘pending’ then never get added to my feeds so that needs to be fixed. I don’t think it’s a jerboa issue because I’ve had it on desktop too.

    I don’t really know what’s happening there, am I waiting for permission to subscribe? Waiting for it to sync between local and remote instances? For my local client to communicate with the instance I’m on or the the community is on?

    Either way there should be an intermediary step where is stored locally soi I can find it again

      if you hit refresh while it is in the pending state, does it go to subscribed?

      i’ve seen it on the website, but it is just a graphical glitch. you did indeed subscribe to the community, just the front end never gets updated to reflect it.

      but this might be outdated, it has been a long time since i last used the website.

      i use sync btw, and here it works. you hit subscribe and the ui reflects the change

        No it never changes and the community never gets added to my list, it’s only when trying to sub to communities from other instances as far as I can tell
