I've got my own instance running and I want to federate with some instances and communities but I'm getting a Subscribe Pending error. I read everything I could find on this error but the fix on github from like a year or two ago didn't work.

For context, I got the instance running on server A, then tried to federate with a few communities. Then I moved the instance to server B, which was more stable, and then tried to federate again.

The domain is the same just literally rsynced the files to another server and got the container up.

I'm ready to commit to Lemmy full time and leave reddit. Any ideas? What am I doing wrong?

I'm running 0.19.11 for context, with caddy as my reverse proxy.

Edit: Even further context. This issue is happening on communites on instances that I had not trie to federate previously.

Allow list is explicit. If you allow at least one instance, all others will be blocked. You only allowed the following instances:

  • lemmy.world
  • sh.itjust.works
  • beehaw.org
  • programming.dev

I'm still learning. What should I do in this case, remove them from the list?

Yeah that would work. I also recommend you to check Lemmy Federate.
