From 3 other lemmy.ml federated lemmings I cannot fully subscribe to lemmy.ml communities. They all just stay in 'Subscription Pending'. It was pointed out that I would still get updates from these communities, and I decided to roll with it. BUT the thing is… you can't cross-post using the lemmy built in if not fully subscribed.

How long until this might be alleviated? Has lemmy.ml considered asking some communities to move to a less loaded lemmy? Seemingly every floss project seems to have homed here, and the subscription pending thing is getting problematic.

Thanks for all the hard work. I just want to know if it's known/being addressed.

Subscriptions are actually completing now. Takes a minute and manual intervention. But they are going to 'Joined'.

I encountered the same thing when I first joined. I tried registering at Lemmy.ml and it was closed and they never got back to me with my application. Then I tried subscribing to the science fiction community and it said subscription pending. So I just left and made my own because if the community is that closed down then I don't really see the point in using it.

Maybe that's what they want, I don't know.
