Joining communities: waiting

Hello, since yesterday I was trying to join new communities but the status is "pending", always. No luck today. Anyone knows if it is my problem or something doesn't work? Communities I'm trying to join are quite populated so I found it strange. Thanks

Lemmy is still pretty early software, it says pending for me too but it acts like I'm subscribed so I'm assuming it's a weird visual bug

Lemmy 0.18 is coming soon and should hopefully fix some of these issues
I believe it's a visual bug. All the communities I've subscribed to show up in my subscribed list and in my subscribed feed even if Lemmy still lists it as "pending".
- But can you post something in those pending communities?
Maybe it's the volume of people migrating from reddit that is straining the servers, just a guess
It's a known bug with Lemmy, not stemming from Jerboa.
I'm getting this for every subscription that's not on my home instance, too. It's not just Jerboa though, the same thing happens if I try to subscribe directly on lemmy.world.
its just some instances for me , Beehaw for me , Lemmy.ml , and feddit.de all others work fine for me.

also while it still says Subscribe pending iam absolutely subscribed and see content in my subscribed feed.
- Beehaw defederated from Lemmy.world, so it's useless to subscribe to any communities there
  
  Iam still atleast getting news from there in my feeds https://i.imgur.com/YsAoi37.png and often see comments and more.
Also not on exactly the same topic but how do I unblock instances that I accidentally blocked ?
