Why can't I follow communities from this instance

I recently attempted to follow communties on this instance from mastodon and they all say pending. Does anyone know why this is happening? Is it possibly related to the federation problems of 0.19?
I made a github issue but I'm not sure if the Devs will help or not since on one hand it's not their software but on the other hand it seems like a federation issue. ๐Ÿคทโ€‹

@db0 @div0 Well that's good at least. Are you able to subscribe to Lemmy communities from your instance (try ones on 0.19 or 0.19.1)?

@Draconic_NEO @div0 Yep. Just followed /c/piracy from mastodon.

@db0 @div0 try refreshing the page, it didn't say pending for me until I refreshed.

@db0 @div0 That's... really weird.

I just tried on my other account on dragonchat.org to see if it might be glitch-soc but it also didn't work there. I wonder why hackyderm.io is working for following when others aren't.

Mind also trying to follow @memes and @astronomy (no reason in particular for why I picked these ones, just picked them since they're 0.19 instances) just to see if it's specific to dbzer0 or if it's working with other instances too.

Hi there! Your text contains links to other Lemmy communities, here are correct links for Lemmy users: !memes@sopuli.xyz, !astronomy@mander.xyz

@db0 @div0 Ah so I guess it is instance specific. That'll make troubleshooting hard if some instances work and some don't. Hopefully it's mostly consistent.
