@db0 @WeirdGoesPro would probably require modifying Lemmy to be able to do it unfortunately, and that’s hard because of the Lemmy Devs’ weird insistence on using rust.

@lemann I wonder if it might also be affecting Kbin users too. I’m not sure though since I ditched Kbin a long time ago (there were lots of bugs and shitty people on there).

@lemann I think these are very different issues on Mastodon than on Lemmy since on mastodon when its pending it isn’t just a visual glitch like on Lemmy, it’s just not letting you follow.

I’ve experienced what you’re describing on Lemmy where it shows as pending but does show up in the subscriptions list after a few refreshes. It unfortunately doesn’t seem to work out like that on Mastodon when following users or communities that are on Lemmy 0.19 instances.

@db0 So the dragonchat one went through, even though it says pending on the instance?

Also yeah I guess I do have a lot, I made most mainly due to federation problems but there were other reasons too (like when lemmy.world decided to go to war against piracy as well as other things). Ah well it’s good to have redundancy, in case systems fail or instances go bust (that happened to unilem, they just disappeared overnight without warning).

@db0 @div0 Ah so I guess it is instance specific. That’ll make troubleshooting hard if some instances work and some don’t. Hopefully it’s mostly consistent.

@db0 @div0 That’s… really weird.

I just tried on my other account on dragonchat.org to see if it might be glitch-soc but it also didn’t work there. I wonder why hackyderm.io is working for following when others aren’t.

Mind also trying to follow @memes and @astronomy (no reason in particular for why I picked these ones, just picked them since they’re 0.19 instances) just to see if it’s specific to dbzer0 or if it’s working with other instances too.

@db0 @div0 try refreshing the page, it didn’t say pending for me until I refreshed.

@db0 I think I’ll do that, just wondering, is there any indication of my follow requests on your end? I’m trying to follow the piracy community.

@db0 @div0 Well that’s good at least. Are you able to subscribe to Lemmy communities from your instance (try ones on 0.19 or 0.19.1)?

@db0 I’m not seeing them. They still say pending.

@db0 I tried sopuli.xyz, mander.xyz, lemm.ee, lemmy.world, and pawb.social.

Out of those only lemmy.world and pawb.social worked and allowed me to follow, all the others gave a pending message.
