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!

    Hi @Lionir@beehaw.org ! So, I was able to get beehaw.org to send me a reset password email. The problem is, when I use the link and put a new password in, clicking the save button results in a forever spinning loading button.

    Seems like there might still be some issues with emails getting sent out. If you check the lemmy logs, you might see a timeout for my save.

    You could also check the /admin view and see if my user is there under the banned list? When I didn’t have mail working on my new instance, someone signed up and went immediately to the banned list.

    Sorry to create work for you, but it would be awesome to finally be able to log in to beehaw.org.

      It sent your password reset email just fine… I can see you were also approved and should’ve gotten an email for that. Are you trying to put a password that is more than 60 characters long?

        Dude, you are a rockstar! No, just a shorter password. It’s just not saving on the reset password page. One thing to consider is that I used a gmail address, and from my own experience on my instance gmail causes some issues.

        Would be great to finally get this resolved though. I will look for your reset email and try it again.

          I’ve just tried the link and managed to reset your password. Obviously, I will not share that password because I can’t verify your identity but I’d recommend trying the “forgot password” button again. If it still doesn’t work, I’d recommend checking your browser settings and/or trying a private window or something of the like to avoid possibly problematic extensions.

            One more thing I noticed: beehaw.org is still using 17.3.0 for both the backend and UI. I wonder if that has something to do with the fact I can’t save my new password?

            I believe @ruud@lemmy.world had mentioned there were some fixes for emails in a newer version. lemmy.world and lemmy.pl are using

            • UI: 0.17.4-rc.4
            • BE: 0.17.4-rc.1

            OK, I tried the forgot password flow again, and this time opened the reset password link in Chrome in an incognito window. I still had the same result, where the save button turned to a loading icon and never completed.

            Looking at the network tab I’m not seeing a request I can trace when the save button is clicked, which could indicate something server side going on, maybe?
