Why can't I follow communities from this instance

I recently attempted to follow communties on this instance from mastodon and they all say pending. Does anyone know why this is happening? Is it possibly related to the federation problems of 0.19?
I made a github issue but I'm not sure if the Devs will help or not since on one hand it's not their software but on the other hand it seems like a federation issue. 🤷

A lot of my subscriptions show as "pending", but they appear in my feed just fine, I don't think it's anything to worry about. Probably a minor confirmation issue that will eventually get fixed, likely not helped by a lot of servers now running different versions of Lemmy.

Doesn't seem to affect the federation of posts from these communities as far as I can see

@lemann I think these are very different issues on Mastodon than on Lemmy since on mastodon when its pending it isn't just a visual glitch like on Lemmy, it's just not letting you follow.

I've experienced what you're describing on Lemmy where it shows as pending but does show up in the subscriptions list after a few refreshes. It unfortunately doesn't seem to work out like that on Mastodon when following users or communities that are on Lemmy 0.19 instances.

Ohh I see! That must be annoying... Hopefully this gets fixed soon for Mastodon users

@lemann I wonder if it might also be affecting Kbin users too. I'm not sure though since I ditched Kbin a long time ago (there were lots of bugs and shitty people on there).
