Great to hear!
That should fix a point of confusion for new users
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.
The unsubscribe and resubscribe trick hadn't worked for me at that time
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?
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.
This may be due to Kbin development slowing down recently. Ernest has had some life issues pop up recently, which has taken up a lot of his attention away from development. Hopefully we see some progress on the Kbin side soon, too!
I was not aware of this. Sorry to hear, and I hope everything gets better for him.
Interesting, thanks. I had seen mbin mentioned a couple of times, but didn't know the story.
found all the pending ones, opened them, unsubscribed (clicked the yellow “subscribe pending” button) and resubscribed. After that, I refreshed the page
Thanks, this worked for me. Note, the refresh is needed because it will still say pending until you refresh.
No problem, I'm glad it helped. The refresh is only needed to update the status on that page, but it actually subscribes fully in the background, if you check back on your list of subscribed communities.
