I’ve run into the following two issues that interact in a frustrating way.

  • Many of my community subscriptions seem to get permanently stuck in a subscription ‘Pending’ state (though I don’t know how this differs from actually being Joined).
  • Often the ‘Subscribe’ and ‘Block’ buttons on the community page are just text (not clickable). Reloading the page (often many times), can sometimes render the Block button, but I’ve never seen the Subscribe reappear.

The advice being given for ‘stuck in pending’ is to unsubscribe, pause, and then resubscribe. However more often than not, I cannot resubscribe because the ‘Subscribe’ button is no longer accessible.

Currently I’m regaining access to communities by subscribing via a mobile-app (Jerboa). This doesn’t help the Pending issue though.

Are there Lemmy issues I can monitor to track when a fix reaches release? Should I file this as a report?

Environment:

  • Lemmy web-app - my instance is running 0.18 as of this post
  • Firefox (114.0.2) - with uBlock Origin disabled

    Yes, this issue has been fixed and merged into 18.1 (the next lemmy version).

    And as a temporary fix (until 18.1 releases) - if you click the “create post” button, then click the “back” button, the subscribe button should magically appear.

    For the second issue: it’s a 0.18 bug. Open some post in the comm, and the subscribe button should appear.
