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!
I have seen this too from time to time. If you use the search function to search for the community, and click through that way, does the subscribe button appear for you then?
Magically, this seems to have worked on Chrome!! Thanks for the workaround–hopefully Firefox is better supported by the Lemmy devs soon!
Edit: And on Firefox too now! Strange, but thanks for your help!!!
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!
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.
Another workaround: Click create post the go back to a page and the buttons should appear
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.
