This is probably just a lack of fundamental understanding on my part but some communities I want to subscribe to; I’ll hit the sub button, it won’t change status for a while, I’ll refresh and it’ll say “Subscribe Pending”

A couple communities have been stuck like this for a day or so now. But other communities I’ll mash the sub button a bit more then it’ll switch over to “Joined”

Can communities be setup such that subscribers have to be approved by a comm mod or has my subscription request fallen into the void on the backend somewhere and I should try to subscribe again?

Thanks for any clarifications about this!

      No problem. Man, I should really log off… this totally is indistinguishable from reddit and I might end up spending the entire day here at this rate.

      Also, jealous of your beehaw.org address. My signup got messed up and I don’t know my password, and the forgot password link doesn’t seem to work.

          I did not get any emails from beehaw.org. It was also around the time of that email bug where rejected user emails were not getting sent out, and users ended up in a banned and unactionable state.

            Oh god, that’s a while ago. What was your username? I’m willing to dig through the big application queue we have, I suppose…

              @Lionir@beehaw.org,

              I tried to reset my password one more time. It worked! I’m finally able to log in to beehaw.org!

              The key was that I couldn’t reset my password on my iPad in any browser (Chrome, Safari, or Firefox) either. But I tried the reset password flow one more time on my phone, and it suddenly worked. I’m not sure why Safari on an iPhone would work but Safari on an iPad or MacBook Pro would not. 🤷🏻‍♂️

              Wait… perhaps it could have something to do with cookies? Now that I’m logged into beehaw.org, I can’t log in to other instances in another tab anymore. Worth some investigation.

              Anyway, thank you for your help! Very much appreciated.
