Since the update to Version 18, I have been unable to subscribe to any communities (local and federated), with the subscribe button simply not appearing. I am using Firefox 114.0.2 with uBlock Origin running. Anyone know what I might do to fix this issue? Thanks!!!

Edit1: Just tried the same process using Brave Browser, and experiencing the same issue:

Edit2: @floofloof's workaround of searching for the community via the "communities" tab seems to work intermittently on both Chrome and Firefox!

I have seen this too from time to time. If you use the search function to search for the community, and click through that way, does the subscribe button appear for you then?

Magically, this seems to have worked on Chrome!! Thanks for the workaround--hopefully Firefox is better supported by the Lemmy devs soon!

Edit: And on Firefox too now! Strange, but thanks for your help!!!

I found another workaround for this issue that doesn't involve searching: just change the value of the dropdown for "Hot/Active/New/..." and it refreshes the page and makes the Subscribe button appear.

Yes, I don't think it's browser specific. I use Firefox. Glad it worked for you.

I tried this last night and it did not work, will try it now and report back. Now using a fresh install of Chrome with no extensions
