When subscribing to a community on another instance, the subscribe button will change to “Subscribe pending”.
This appears to be a bug, as the content you’re subscribed to will appear anyway.

I have experienced this issue from my instance but only when trying to subscribe to communities on lemmy.ml. I’ve been able to subscribe to communities on this instance and some of the larger ones like sopuli and beehaw.
You’re right. I think, this only applies to lemmy.ml. Maybe they’re using a whitelist. But I can browse (and I think even recieve updates for) these communities just fine.
