I've noticed that any community I've subscribed to that's on a different server is showing on my list as "subscription pending". Everything seems to work though, I can still comment and post on these communities without a problem, so I'm not too concerned about that.

However I do have one other question about it. I've experienced difficulty finding communities that are not on this server, and been told its because no-one from this server has subscribed to it yet. But... if subscriptions to other servers' communities are always "pending", that means no-one from this server ever actually can properly subscribe to them. Does this mean that the difficulties will persist regardless? Or is a "pending" subscription sufficient?

Oh hello again. Large instances have been having issues with external subscriptions lately, likely because of the surge in traffic. lemmy.ml seems to have the issue solved by running the 0.18 release candidates. Maybe you can try unsubscribing communities at that instance and try subscribing again. At least this is my experience.
