So basically I created !oldweb here on lemmy.ml. Someone from another lemmy tried to subscribe and it told them the subscription was pending.
I’m on mobile currently and can’t see anywhere where a request might have come in for me to accept. If its only visible on desktop that’s fine, but I’m not too sure if I need to be accepting this or how it works.
Any help appreciated!
It is only cosmetic if the community is already replicating between the two server instances. If you are on a mostly-empty (new) Lemmy server, then it is more serious and the actual flow of new postings and comments won’t happen.
On a major site like Lemmy.world you likely aren’t the very first to try and join a particular remote community, so it may only seem cosmetic.
That’s why I reflected my specific user experience. I am not on a major instance, such as lemmy.world. My subscription to this community has shown “Subscribe Pending” for a week but I’m obviously subscribed as evidenced by the fact that we’re having this conversation.
Not trying to deny that there are a multitude of issues and other possibilities.
