My suscription is still pending, and I can't find this /c from another instance I use, what's up with that?

The community I want to subscribe to is the one we are currently in, but I can't find it with my account on the lemmygrad.ml instance. The not properly subscribing happens with the account I am currently using. If I manually type the URL, it says it can't find the community. Other communities from this instance work normally on lemmygrad.ml (e.g. [email protected]).

Lemmygrad.ml has been de-federated by all other instances. Maybe that's the reason. It's odd though that it works for some communities but not for others.

I have seen in other threads though that some people ran into similar issues of not finding a community with the url, etc. Unfortunately, I can't remember what the responses to that were. You might be able to find those comments if you search for posts regarding issues with search for communities.

Edit I found the following post. Does it help you?

If it still doesn't help you, try to contact your instance admin.

Edit 2 The "subscribe pending" loop has been described by others as a visual bug. If the cancelling and re-subscribing doesn't work, try if you can vote or post in that community even though the status still says pending.

I wonder why it was defederated. So far it just seems like a bunch of edgy left leaning people, but maybe I'll eventually find out why.

That other post seems to describe the same issue, but has no solution. I guess it helped me in knowing that there isn't a solution yet, haha

I'll try to message the admin, thanks

FWIW, I don't think it has anything to do with federation or instances since I am having the exact same issue with my lemmy.world account.
