They are probably wary of newcomers because of trolling and toxicity. Not saying you are that, but maybe give it a few days or weeks for things to settle down and try again.

I was thinking the same thing. I've been using the filters to go to New and Hot and other things but when someone comes to the front page they shouldn't keep seeing the same posts for many hours or even days. I remember years ago on Reddit they altered the algorithm so that newer posts would show up more frequently on the front page and it was a massive improvement.
Still over 5K subs are dark: https://reddark.untone.uk/ It will be interesting to see how that changes over time.
More testing: Seems to happen when I sub to communities on other instances, not my home server Lemmy.world.
If it matters: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:109.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/114.0
I'm doing further testing and it keeps happening. I keep my post open in a tab and subscribe to communities in another tab and each time I do the tab with my post updates to whatever community I just subbed to.
Fuiyoh
Ok thanks!
This is helpful! Does anyone know what it means when you try to subscribe to a community and it just says "Subscribe Pending"? That has happened to me 2-3 times, and it just seems to stay like that.
Oh good, it's not just me. Glad to hear it is being worked on.
Not exactly what you asked for, but I found one for new communities. I've subbed to some I found there.
I'm not a Catholic, or Christian, or any other religion, but the dude should retire. His health is not good. Benedict XVI set a precedent for papal retirement and maybe it's time to take advantage of that. Pope John Paul II was basically a vegetable for the last years of his papacy. There's no need to repeat that.
