I've been ignoring "Subscribe pending" messages when subscribing, is this a problem?
TL;DR: questions:
EDIT: I'm not aking how to fix it for a single community, I'm asking how to handle it for >200 subscriptions (thanks!)
- If a community says "Subscribe pending", is it possible that their posts do not appear on the feed?
- If the answer to the previous question is yes: is there any script to fix "Subscribe pending" issues on batch?
Long version:
I started using Lemmy some days ago and when subscribing to some communities (on other instances) I got the "Subscribe pending" message. I'm aware it's a common issue (see search for Subscribe pending in this community) but, because what I read is that the bug was the message itself (but you were indeed subscribed) I ignored them.
Today I took a look again at the issue and I saw that some people recommend un-subbing and re-subbing again. The thing is, now I'm subscribed to more than 200 communities, so it would take a while to do it manually.
Thanks!
You're viewing a single thread.
Is this really needed? I had a feeling that even though the community shows "pending", the posts and comments still appear. Am I mistaken?
You just reasked my first TL;DR question :).
I meant: do you observe such behavior? Because it's contrary to my experience but maybe I just did not notice
With >200 subscriptions is impossible for me to detect if the posts from one of them are being excluded from the homepage :/.
Ah. So it's not an observation but precaution :)
I don't think you need to do this but if you want to follow through, my idea would be:

Yes, it was a genuine question. I don't know the implications.

Good advice, thanks.
I will probably do a bit more work to automatize it with JS, I just wanted to check I'm not reinventing the wheel, in case anyone had already built something similar.
