I wanted to subscribe to https://sh.itjust.works/c/bookcollecting@lemmy.world, but it just says “Subscription pending”, and while I can post there and it shows all of the posts in the community, it doesn’t show any comments to those posts.

If I visit the community directly through lemmy.world (without being logged in to an account of course), it shows that there are multiple comments to all of the posts, but if I visit through my account on this instance it shows 0 comments to all of the posts.

I don’t know if it is connected to the “subscription pending” issue, but I have tried refreshing to make the subscription pending change into subscribed, but it doesn’t happen.

Edit: I just tried posting in the community in the vain hope of establishing a connection to it from here, but when I press the post button it just continously loads while the error message “SyntaxError: JSON.parse: unexpected character at line 1 column 1 of the JSON data” keeps popping up in the corner.

    It doesn’t help that lemmy.world is the first recommended server on list of community servers on the introduction screen. People who don’t know how this whole thing works (as I didn’t when I first created an account on lemmy.world which I have since deleted), will just join the first server recommended which has a general and welcoming description.
