You should know that the issue with many communities on other Lemmy instances that you subscribed to showing a “subscribe pending” status has mostly been resolved.

I looked in my subscribed communities list, found all the pending ones, opened them, unsubscribed (clicked the yellow “subscribe pending” button) and resubscribed. After that, I refreshed the page and I was now fully subscribed to them, regardless of which Lemmy instance hosts the community.

The only exception, unfortunately, was with kbin communities. All the kbin.social ones still showed subscribe pending for me even after following the same procedure. Still, this is a big improvement over having a bunch of half-subscribed communities.

I know that the pending status didn’t have much of a negative effect on my end because I would still get those in my subscribed feed, but I hoped for the communities’ subscriber numbers to fully reflect the actual number of subscribers.

    The unsubscribe and resubscribe trick hadn’t worked for me at that time

    Interesting. It didn’t always work the first time (which could mean unsub/sub/refresh like 10 times in a row), but coming back every few hours to try again I don’t think it ever took more than a day to get it resolved for me.

      I had tried multiple times over days, perhaps weeks. However, now I can’t recall if maybe I only tried with kbin communities?
