Running into a weird issue with my self hosted Lemmy instance and was hoping to get some help. I have 2 accounts on my instance and the first account made during the setup can't subscribe to any communities (they show up in my feed, but never change from pending, not a single one), can't post comments others can see outside my instance, and interact in any way really. I only just realized this recently and tried making a post here that still hasn't shown up outside my own instance, so now I'm trying on my other (intended to be) bot account. This account can subscribe and unsubscribe from communities no problem, aside from the big instances that everyone seems to have trouble with, so I'm hoping this post makes it through? Please let me know if it does and if you have any idea on why this might happen, thanks!

I'm fairly certain I deleted the VM and started completely fresh.

Ah ok. So the only thing left behind really is your name which again I suppose could cause problems out in the ActivityPub world but that's way too deep into the development of Lemmy for me so I'm only speculating. Basically my random theory is if @[email protected] is somehow tied to a particular instance ID and now that instance ID is different, I'm not sure how ActivityPub handles that or if that even matters.
