Nobody said we were polished. We’re literally the upstart underdog.
It is known about, and it’s being worked on, but since it’s ultimately an open source project, there’s no deadline provided for when it will be fixed.
Luckily it’s not a big deal, it doesn’t prevent the pending subscriptions from showing up in your feeds. If it bothers you just wait for your server to be not busy, unsubscribe and resubscribe, should take care of it.
There was a different vulnerability found that let the attacker take full ownership of a compromised account - some moderator and admin accounts were compromised. I would prefer the developers fix that first.
Nice, so there is a quick user fix available. I understand it’s low priority. I mistakingly got the impression that it wasn’t being worked on because it doesn’t actually affect thing.
Just for perspective though, it is confusing for inexperienced users (me at least) who are already confused by Federation and all that stuff. I wasn’t sure if I signed up with a blocked community or wasn’t meeting a subscription criteria.
I honestly don’t believe Lemmy is for everyone - at least not yet. There’s too many issues for me to, say, recommend it to my mom. However for Lemmy to become capable of being that network it needs people like you. People that don’t just get frustrated and walk away, but post an honest inquiry about ‘why’. If nothing else the feedback is appreciated.
The Reddit/Twitter/General Shitification has shaken things up such that pioneers like us are seeding the fediverse with the wide variety of human interests that are richer and deeper than what the developers themselves can provide. Thank you for deciding that, “well, if the experience is going to be frustrating and annoying, at least I’ll go with the frustrating, annoying experience that’s trying to improve itself”. My advice is to take Lemmy itself not too seriously - to laugh when the software has it’s quirks, and to give others the benefit of the doubt. I look forward to looking back and ‘enjoying how wild it was in the early days’.
Again, thank you. I’m starting to dream that in five years this place might be someplace really, truly amazing.

Let me say, thank you for being here.
