I finally figured out how to get my Lemmy instance up and running. Everything seems to work great except for the fact that I can’t subscribe to any lemmy.ml communities; it just stays stuck at pending. All other communities on other instances subscribe successfully.
Is this an issue on my end or is there an issue with lemmy.ml?
Hey I just had a question on this exact thing this morning for my new account on mander. So the trick for getting communities active on a new instance is that you first need to search for the whole url (such as https://lemmy.ml/c/lemmy_support). It will of course fail, but then you can immediately search for "lemmy_support" and that will now be found.
@[email protected] Thanks for the reply. I have done that and can successfully see the community. However, when I try to subscribe it is stuck at pending. Cancelling and trying again doesn't seem to fix it.
Sorry to hear that. From the other replies it sounds like it's going to be a configuration issue but I didn't set up my own instance so that's as much advice as I can offer. Good luck!
