This is a bug that's gonna be fixed in v0.18.1. I wish I could link out to the bug on github, but I lost where I read this at. A way to get around this bug is just to click the community name in the sidebar and for some reason that makes the subscription button real
sh.itjust.works Main Community
Home of the sh.itjust.works instance.
yeah, I've run into that a time or two - or the subscribe button is a button but it doesnt "act" like a button. it's just bizarre behavior I've never really seen on any other platform. I can still interact with those pages/communities, just not add them into my feed by "subscribing".
I've been getting the best results by toggling the page between posts and comments. This forces the UI elements to reload and subscribe becomes a real button. It won't update, though: I'll have to click it and then reload the page, and generally it appears either as joined
or subscribe pending
. I intend to go through and fiddle with the latter at a later time, as you can force the matter by repeatedly leaving and re-subscribing, but I've been made to understand this is a server load issue.
