Hi all!

Its wonderful to be on lemmy, and so far it seems like the community is super welcoming.

I do have a silly question though, When i search for a community, i get tons of results from different servers. and it seems like i can comment on posts and interact with them. This is, until I subscribe; It seems like I can subscribe easily, without friction in lemmy.world and beehaw. However, when I subscribe to lemmy.ml, it just says subscribe pending, and im not sure why.

I feel like im missing something fundemental here.

Thank you for your time!

    May I ask why you are subscribing to every instance? Just pick one instance (probably not lemmy.ml) and join the communities from there. They are all federated so you can follow any community on any instance if it is federated with yours.

      Yeah I just didnt understand how it worked yet. I made an assumption that the severs were independent, and not linked. So i made an account on lemmy.world and lemmy.ml

      As for this post, I was encountering issues subscribing to communities, not instances.
