Why am I so stupid on this platform?
you're not stupid, it's just that the federated aspect of it combined with technical problems (things not being completely in sync) makes everything a bit confusing
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 ✔ 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.
I think you need to search for it on lemmy.world and then subscribe and post from there. I’ve had luck copying the urls and pasting them into the lemmy.world search.
Known issue! These are growing pains for the software

^^^this issue tracker will make this a complete non-issue for you going forward once it's fixed.
A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.
