Subscribing to a community from another instance always shows "Subscribe Pending". Is this a bug?

I am seeing posts from this community, I can seemingly create posts and replies, yet it's showing "Subscribe Pending". Is this a bug or is it actually pending?

It is a known bug. I tried to find the source but was not able to to find it again. From what I recall, when it says "Subscribe Pending" you are subscribed, it's just a display issue and should be fixed next release. I'll update if I can find the source

Edit: still not the source I was remembering, but here is an open GitHub issue for this: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ui/issues/1315

None of my accounts are on lemmy.ml, and this only seems to happen for me when I subscribe to lemmy.ml communities, so I'd bet lemmy.ml is just struggling with the increased traffic

I know that I've been constantly getting HTTP 500 errors when trying to visit lemmy.ml, so I'd definitely would say its just traffic issues on their side.
