I’m having trouble subscribing to communities and I hope y’all can help. Apologies if this is a very basic question

I’m using the Jerboa app. When I find a community I click the “Subscribe” button. What’s weird is from there the button changed to “Pending” as opposed to “Subscribed”. What’s worse is the community does not show up in my subscribed communities in the Jerboa app, meaning I can’t quickly navigate back to the community. Essentially seems like I’m still not subscribed at all.

I’m very new to federated social media. Am I doing something wrong?

Thanks!

    it’s a server lag thing. you may try going directly to the community and clicking the subscribe button again to de-select it and subscribe again. there’s a lot of traffic on Lemmy servers right now, so some functions seem to not be working quite right.

    I think that’s a Lemmy problem not a jerboa problem. I get the same issue on the mobile web interface sometimes. Interestingly, at least once posts of a community that was “pending” still appeared in my “subscribed” feed.
