Hello,

New to the Fediverse and there is some learning to do.

I heard if I had signed up for one instance, I will be able to see all communities across the board.

My question is, Lemmy.world and Lemmy.ml both have Worldnews comms. I can see the Lemmy.world one in Lemmy.ml with the url worldnews@lemmy.world. And vice versa. And sub to them accordingly right?

So this means there can be a repeat of communities across the fediverse?

My issue was Lemmy.ml just leaves every subscription of mine on pending. No idea why.

[–] TheWorstNL@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I think pending means the server is still processing it and since the performance problems all instances are having there is some delay.

You are telling lemmy.world that you want to subscribe to lemmy.ml so it has to synchronize it but since both instances are very busy it takes a while to process. Not very sure on this one though but I guess .world has to communicatie with .ml for the subscription.

I'm still a Lemmy noob too, but it seems like even a "pending" subscription causes posts from that community to show up in my subscribed feed, so lurking isn't affected very heavily.

I guess.

I thought it will take an hour or so. It has been a few days... Hahaha.

Just have to wait I guess. The admins are probably overwhelmed these few days. Fking Reddit.

A few days is a very long time indeed but I only joined today so I might have it completely wrong.
