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 @ lemmy.world 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?

    Ah, when I do that, I see ‘Subscribe Pending’ :(

    Strangely, I cancelled and subscribed again - now ✔ joined

      I 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.
