I read somewhere that it means your instance knows you are subscribed but the other instance hasn’t synced that info yet. AFAIK this shouldn’t affect functionality on your end.

I believe it just means the subscriber count on the instance you’re subscribing to hasn’t been updated.

From what I understand it’s just a visual bug. You are actually subscribed when you see that.

Okay, so I just tried clicking subscribe pending on several subs and clicking subscribe again and it did NOT update to joined on any of them. BUT it did update to joined if I did that and then REFRESHED the page!? So, just a bug.

So in summary, if you click subscribe pending to unsub, then click subscribe again to sub and then refresh the page and you should be joined for real! No more yellow, am I on some kind of trial, subscribe pending yellow button of paranoia!

Must be a bug. I was “subcribe pending” on a community on the instance I’m actually on?! So I clicked the “subcribe pending” button and then clicked subscribe again and it updated to joined immediately!

But I hadn’t subbed to this community yet so I tried clicking subscribe and it said subscribe pending. I clicked it off and on again but it still says subscribe pending. I’ll try again later.
