defacto SC community? (self.starcitizen)

Star Citizen subreddit has gone private. I'm surprised there are so few in the Lemmy community. Is there another defacto option I missed during the chaos?

Just try again. There's no approval as far as I'm aware the endpoint probably just timed out.

I've tried resubscribing to this community several times and it keeps giving me the same "subscribe pending" message. See my other post in this thread for a screenshot. Haven't had problems like that when subscribing to any other community.

That happens sometimes with some communities from external servers. You are subscribed. You should see posts in your feed.

After looking around a bit, it looks like I'm not the only one having this problem on lemmy.ml (and probably other) communities. You're probably right that it's just a visual thing.

Still reading as pending for me, but I guess I'll see if it's actually subscribed when/if posting here picks up and has a theoretical chance to start showing up on my front page.

Edit: Just saw a post from here on my front page, so I guess I am subscribed despite apparently still being in a pending state.

lemmy.ml is way overloaded. That is why federation is important and not to centralize on a single instance, spread the load out over multiple networks. The fact that you are on a different server is good, but lemmy.ml still has to process your subscription.

There's another gaming and tech specific instance (lemmy.zip), and I think it's better if all the gaming communities have their own instances. I don't see the scaling issues getting better any time soon with .ml or .world, but at the same time we'll get the most exposure here. It isn't ideal.

Hopefully the most recent update will solve the load issue (switching to htp requests), but we'll see.

I'm also stuck on "pending". This problem might be preventing this community from gaining traction.
