Some of my subscriptions to lemmy communities (including this one) have been stuck on “pending” for a month and do not show up in my subscription feed.

What’s up with that?

    Do you realize that you’re advising OP to ignore a mod (in a reply to said mod) of this community who is being perfectly chill while informing OP about the published rule 3, which the community mods have stated they’re being relaxed about while so many new Lemmings are joining, but not giving up on forever?

    Rule 3 is quoted below, and helpfully directs people to active communities that are dedicated to support:

      We get that, but just saying “go somewhere else to ask this” and not actually providing an answer at the same time comes off as pompous and OP isn’t likely to delete their post just to post it again elsewhere.

        Mod here. The fun thing is that I actually did remove this post three hours ago when I posted that comment. Due to federation issues, people are still able to comment on it.

        These are the rules for this community. If you’d prefer another, you may want to check out !asklemmy@lemmy.world.

        Lol, upvoted. Good luck to you Don Quixote, I can think of nothing that can go wrong with this plan whatsoever.

          Sounds like a “language users make the language” case. As in mods want this to be AskReddit but the community users want to use it differently.

            I mean, the mods are being chill about it so far. If they start dropping bans, the users trying to turn this into a support community won’t actually be users anymore and they can go create asklemmyaboutsupportbutalsootherstuffwhatever and mod it themselves. In this respect, lemmy communities differ from language evolution.

            For my part, I’m here for a discussion sub. I participate heavily in lemmy support communities, but that’s not why I joined here.
