You should know that the issue with many communities on other Lemmy instances that you subscribed to showing a "subscribe pending" status has mostly been resolved.

I looked in my subscribed communities list, found all the pending ones, opened them, unsubscribed (clicked the yellow "subscribe pending" button) and resubscribed. After that, I refreshed the page and I was now fully subscribed to them, regardless of which Lemmy instance hosts the community.

The only exception, unfortunately, was with kbin communities. All the kbin.social ones still showed subscribe pending for me even after following the same procedure. Still, this is a big improvement over having a bunch of half-subscribed communities.

I know that the pending status didn't have much of a negative effect on my end because I would still get those in my subscribed feed, but I hoped for the communities' subscriber numbers to fully reflect the actual number of subscribers.

Yes, I hope so too. I should add that this was just my experience. I don't have any technical facts to back up this assertion. I had this problem for a long time after I first signed up for Lemmy in June 23. The unsubscribe and resubscribe trick hadn't worked for me at that time. I just randomly decided to try again today and it worked fine this time. I don't know if it's something that was improved in the code, or perhaps just that the Lemmyverse stabilized after a while.

Interesting. It didn't always work the first time (which could mean unsub/sub/refresh like 10 times in a row), but coming back every few hours to try again I don't think it ever took more than a day to get it resolved for me.

I had tried multiple times over days, perhaps weeks. However, now I can't recall if maybe I only tried with kbin communities?

That's it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-YSK posts using the [META] tag on your post title.



Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.

If you harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

If you are a member, sympathizer or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
