Star Citizen subreddit has gone private. I’m surprised there are so few in the Lemmy community. Is there another defacto option I missed during the chaos?

    I have a feeling that this community is dead?

    I’ve made a subscription request (apparently that’s a thing on some communities? no idea why that’d be required here though) to this community, and it’s still pending after a while. I think it’s dependant on the mod being active to accept the subscription requests.

    edit: If anyone makes another community, please do post about it here, though. I don’t really have the bandwidth to moderate an SC community, but maybe someone out there will want to pick up the slack.

      Just try again. There’s no approval as far as I’m aware the endpoint probably just timed out.

        I’ve tried resubscribing to this community several times and it keeps giving me the same “subscribe pending” message. See my other post in this thread for a screenshot. Haven’t had problems like that when subscribing to any other community.

          That happens sometimes with some communities from external servers. You are subscribed. You should see posts in your feed.

            After looking around a bit, it looks like I’m not the only one having this problem on lemmy.ml (and probably other) communities. You’re probably right that it’s just a visual thing.

            Still reading as pending for me, but I guess I’ll see if it’s actually subscribed when/if posting here picks up and has a theoretical chance to start showing up on my front page.

            Edit: Just saw a post from here on my front page, so I guess I am subscribed despite apparently still being in a pending state.

              I’m also stuck on “pending”. This problem might be preventing this community from gaining traction.

      Were you using the app to subscribe? I noticed last night that the ones I made from the app got stuck in pending and when i got on the browser it worked. I forgot to try this community however.

        I’m using a browser to subscribe. Just tried resubscribing, and it’s still giving me the same “subscribe pending” notification. Attaching a screenshot of the thing to this post.
