Why, when I search for a community my instance is not yet aware of, does it sometimes not bring back any posts in that community? This community is in example of that.

Most new additions will redline the CPU but then come back with a populated page for the community. Sometimes that doesn’t happen and no amount of purging and retrying will cause it to.

I’m currently unable to subscribe to anything on Beehaw. I just get subscription pending and there is no content sent my way. Statistically they’re also more likely to encounter no. 1 above. Can I fix this?

    The pending subscription is a known thing. If you retract the subscription and then redo it, it should be good. If not, wait a bit and retry. You may have to reload the page so see the button change to “Subscribed”.

    Not sure about the other though. In my experience, purging and refetching a community will always fix it… :/

    I’ll pass this post to the admin Matrix chat (which you should join), since it’s important to have this kind of info publicly and readily available as well.

      Yeah. I looks like the beehaw thing has resolved itself. I don’t know why it was just them but I have been able to subscibe since yesterday. I’m guessing that this is an issue with the source instance rather than the requesting instance - maybe it’s not sending out an accept activity like it should.

      I’m still seeing the lack of content in newly searched communities though. https://sh.itjust.works/c/plugins for instance just refuses to come back with anything.
