Since the update to Version 18, I have been unable to subscribe to any communities (local and federated), with the subscribe button simply not appearing. I am using Firefox 114.0.2 with uBlock Origin running. Anyone know what I might do to fix this issue? Thanks!!!

Edit1: Just tried the same process using Brave Browser, and experiencing the same issue:

Edit2: @floofloof’s workaround of searching for the community via the “communities” tab seems to work intermittently on both Chrome and Firefox!

from a different comment i made earlier today:

looks like they’re aware of the issue, and there’s a workaround:

The way to resolve is to click on any link on that community and the Subscribe/Block buttons show up again.

Yet another workaround is to just click the community title. The subscribe button will then appear on refresh (but won’t on the usual F5 or Ctrl+R refresh). I haven’t had a chance to dig deeper and see what’s going on.

Another workaround: Click create post the go back to a page and the buttons should appear

Thank you (and @onTerryO) for this workaround as well!! Much easier when loading into a community from a hotlink!

I have this issue too. My workaround is to click on the “create post” button, and then click the browser’s back button. Then the subscribe button shows up.

I’ve also noticed that for me if I open the comments on a random post within the sub, then the button shows up on the sidebar usually. No idea if that will work for anyone else though.

Works on Android Chrome. Try private browsing session or Chromium.

I just tried the same process on Brave Browser and a fresh install of Chrome (inPrivate, no extensions) and unfortunately seeing the same behavior!

Not browser-related then. Interesting. 🤔
