Oh, so it is due to the larger userbase here! There is a larger chance that someone already subscribed to a community I am looking for.
Still, when I was using another instance, subscribing to communities at lemmy.world was instantaneous while subbing to communities at beehaw.org or lemmy.ml often took more than one try.
It also doesn't help that lemmy.ml where a lot of users migrated at first seems to be having issues right now.
Also on jerboa searching for communities by url doesn't seem to be working.
Hopefully the influx of new users and attention helps improving and ironing some issues like it happened with mastodon.
This was exactly my issue. My feddit.uk instance was very slow. Couldn't interact or search on Jerboa using URL. Lemmy.World instace is much better. Donation to the cause on the way.
anyone knows what does the "subscribe pending" means??
I think it's happening when instances are running into lag federating with each other, and means that content from that community might take a while to populate your subscribed feed.
eg my subscription to Kbin's gaming community shows up as pending, but federation with kbin has been broken for a while because of their cloudflare settings. guessing these sorts of pending things will clear up once things settle down a bit.
Thanks for the explanation.
likely an issue with your request, i've had the same issue on multiple occasions, usually fixed by clicking the pending button and then resubscribing, takes a few tries sometimes
