'Pending subscription'? (feddit.dk)

submitted 2 years ago by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

I tried subscribing to [email protected], but it just says 'pending subscription'. Is there a feature where moderators have to accept your subscription? or is this simply a loading message? (Refreshing does nothing)

I have this problem quite often. Any insights from anyone?

Are you trying to subscribe to any lemmy.ml communities? I remember reading that lemmy.ml defederated lemmynsfw.com (your instance)

Looks like that is the case! But how were you able to see my comment and reply then?

I am on an instance called feddit.dk, it is federated to almost every instance. It's sadly one of the side-effects of having a federated system. The owner of lemmy.ml was not interested in hosting nsfw content, so they decided to defederate. I saw a post from someone else on lemmynsfw, saying they just had two accounts

But the "true version" of this thread exists on Lemmy [email protected] does it not? I thought my comment into this thread would not be seen by anyone outside lemmynsfw when lemmy.ml blocks lemmynsfw?
