It looks to be some kind of bug. Even though it shows as pending the communities still show up in my subscribed feed. I guess it’ll sort itself out over time.
I’ve been seeing this quite a lot today and it’s also probably because I’m looking out for it. The posts I’ve seen and checked all had comments from users from Beehaw, Lemmy.world, kbin. The comments did not match up between viewing from here (lemm.ee) and the source post. I’m kinda putting it down to all of these instances getting hammered with signups and potential strain on the servers but I’m happy to be told that’s wrong.
I would guess that things will get better, sync faster and more consistent as time goes on.
If anyone has a better or more informed opinion as to why this is happening please comment as I’m trying to get a better understanding of all of this as the days go on.
I’ve been seeing this quite a lot. Not came across a definitive answer but from what I can gather it’s an issue with instances federating comments. I wonder if it’s an issue just now due to the massive growth and the stress on instances. @sunaurus@lemm.ee may be able to offer a better insight.
I’ve just tried this and it works. If you click the spy glass at the top right and search for the full url https://kbin.social/m/Amsterdam. It may not look like it’s doing anything. Hit search again and then go back to the communities page and just search for Amsterdam. The community should now show. It possibly won’t show any content yet if you are the first person from your instance to subscribe to it.
I’m not sure if there is an issue with kbin at the moment as I’ve experienced similar today. It’s being discussed on this post here https://lemmy.world/post/456733
If you click the spy glass at the top right and search for the full url https://kbin.social/m/nintendoswitch. It may not look like it’s doing anything. Hit search again and then go back to the communities page and just search for Nintendo. The community should now show. It possibly won’t show any content yet if you are the first person from your instance to subscribe to it.
