Disclaimer: I’m a noooooob.
I am logged in to lemmy.world.
I have a feed (Beehaw Local) which I open in a new tab about Reddit affecting Google. with the beehaw.org URL (so I’m not logged in or registered) posted by someone at lemmy.world.
If I follow the link, I’m still inside Beehaw, same goes for the Technology link.
My confusion is that I can’t see how to open and interact with that post without making a separate Beehaw account.
Why am I so stupid on this platform?
If you’re subscribed to that community, it should be at the URL https://lemmy.world/c/technology@beehaw.org for you (if you aren’t subscribed yet you should be able to do so from that link). Then when you open the post from there it should be at the lemmy.world URL (https://lemmy.world/post/113642) and you should still be logged in.
Ah, when I do that, I see ‘Subscribe Pending’ :(
Strangely, I cancelled and subscribed again - now
✔ joinedI seem to have ‘Subscription Pending’ on quite a few instances. It does seem to be server dependent. I’m not sure how it effects anything yet. I’m still quite new to this and learning as I go along.
Pretty sure that’s just a cosmetic issue on Lemmy 0.17.3. BeeHaw is updating to 0.17.4 in about 4 hours, which may resolve that. Either way, if you see that, you should be subscribed!
Some of the popular servers are probably struggling right now, so it might have just needed a do-over.
I’m still figuring out this stuff too though so who knows!
Yes, I’m not too worried yet.
Some folks are busy setting up subs here - it’ll be interesting to see if we can get subs with both direct posts as well as direct feeds from Reddit too (I get 99% of Reddit via RSS).
This is the way.
