Hi, I hope this is the right place. I have successfully subscribed to some remote communities, but now whenever I view a remote community there's no "Subscribe" button I can click but instead just plain text saying "Subscribe", like the button is disabled or something.

Does anyone know why that's happening and what I should do to subscribe to more remote / federated communities?

Oh, now I can see the normal subscribe button again! Maybe it was some temporary glitch, but it seemed to happen to every remote community for a while...

It's a bug in Lemmy 0.18.0. You can get around it by clicking the green link with the community name in the sidebar, then the subscribe button will become normal and clickable again.

Some other user mentioned this earlier, looks like this bug has survived to 0.18. Might as well add this to the FAQ.

Now that @QuentinCallaghan upgraded to 0.18.1 the problem seems to be gone. Thanks Quentin!
