I have so many pending subscriptions for communities in other instances and I have no idea how to fix it. Is there something that I can do, or do I just have to wait? I’m still a bit unsure about how a lot of this stuff works lol
I clicked on them a second time, sorted.
it’s not really a problem, you’re likely subscribed even though it shows “subscribe pending”
I am still pending on a community I am currently a mod of.
Can you create new threads on it? can you comment on threads? If the answer to both is yes, then you are subscribed.
Is it mostly Lemmy.ml? That’s what I’ve found.

It’s a bunch of instances. :/
Closed/Completed
First refresh the page , sometimes that helps. Then try cancel and re-subscribe
If that doesn’t work probably the remote server is too busy.
I had this too, I found if I cancelled and then re-applied it worked after waiting 30 seconds.
TBH federation from large instances like lemmy.world or lemmy.ml seems kind of sluggish. Posts, comments and upvote counts are way off on my private instance, as well as many lemmy.ml subscriptions hanging “Pending” forever. No such issues from smaller instances. I’ve seen lemmy.world set its federation worker count to something crazy like 10000, so I don’t know what else they could possibly do to improve things, or what I could do for that matter.
