I hope this is a suitable place to ask about this. I've noticed now after 3 account migrations that no matter which instance you import settings into, all of your subscriptions end up stuck listed as "Subscribe pending". Functionally, everything works as it should though, and all of those communities still show up in your Subscribed feed. It's just an eyesore / annoyance.

You can get them to properly say "Subscribed" again by unsubbing and resubbing but eventually I might end up with a huge list of communities to do this with any time I try another instance. Is there any way to resolve this besides unsubbing and resubbing one by one?

lmao

It's been like this for over a year now, it's purely visual it doesn't affect anything. You're still subscribed.

What's funny is that it's still ongoing since months / years, I arrived in Lemmy when Reddit went crazy about it sometimes felt like the Far West, today things have largely settled down and I'd be glad if we could get rid of this because it's really confusing

This was a UI bug a while back, and it might still be present in cases like account imports. Maybe someone can make a bug report / GitHub issue about it

There is no other method from what I can tell. Until it's fixed, I guess someone can write a script that does the same action to quickly go through your list and fix it
