Am I the only one with a bunch of communities I’d like to join but with a status still on “Subscribe pending”.

I’m still new to all this and I’m really loving it so far, but man, so much stuff is confusing and counter-intuitive. Isn’t the point of having federated instances being able to talk to each other?

Makes sense. Still, there isn’t gonna be a real and strong “reddit migration” if people can’t subscribe and enjoy communities in here. I saw posts yesterday about instances doing server upgrades, which is nice. If that’s the issue I’d be glad to contribute financially but they have to make those upgrades fast! There’s an opportunity window here and I fear the average user coming from Reddit isn’t gonna be patient.

If the servers go down, nobody will enjoy anything. Reddit can maintain as many impatient users as they will. If you are seeking to win some game or revenge agains reddit I think you might be in the wrong place.
