Why can’t I follow communities from this instance
I recently attempted to follow communties on this instance from mastodon and they all say pending. Does anyone know why this is happening? Is it possibly related to the federation problems of 0.19?
I made a github issue but I’m not sure if the Devs will help or not since on one hand it’s not their software but on the other hand it seems like a federation issue. 🤷
Does it work for communities of other instances?
@db0 I tried sopuli.xyz, mander.xyz, lemm.ee, lemmy.world, and pawb.social.
Out of those only lemmy.world and pawb.social worked and allowed me to follow, all the others gave a pending message.
Then it’s not isolated to this one. I know that the confirmation of the follow is sometimes buggy. Do you see posts from those communities in your feed?
@db0 I’m not seeing them. They still say pending.
I honestly don’t know. You can try asking in the matrix channel
@db0 I think I’ll do that, just wondering, is there any indication of my follow requests on your end? I’m trying to follow the piracy community.
I don’t see any follows from your pawb.fun account or your mander account, but I see a follow on piracy from your dragonchat one. Also damn you have a lot of fediverse accounts >_<
@db0 So the dragonchat one went through, even though it says pending on the instance?
Also yeah I guess I do have a lot, I made most mainly due to federation problems but there were other reasons too (like when lemmy.world decided to go to war against piracy as well as other things). Ah well it’s good to have redundancy, in case systems fail or instances go bust (that happened to unilem, they just disappeared overnight without warning).
Looks like. On the DB it says pending is false
Now that lemmy allows you to export your data, there’s no reason to pre-empt it imho. If anything bad happens, take your data and move to a new instance.
