I've got my own instance running and I want to federate with some instances and communities but I'm getting a Subscribe Pending error. I read everything I could find on this error but the fix on github from like a year or two ago didn't work.

For context, I got the instance running on server A, then tried to federate with a few communities. Then I moved the instance to server B, which was more stable, and then tried to federate again.

The domain is the same just literally rsynced the files to another server and got the container up.

I'm ready to commit to Lemmy full time and leave reddit. Any ideas? What am I doing wrong?

I'm running 0.19.11 for context, with caddy as my reverse proxy.

Edit: Even further context. This issue is happening on communites on instances that I had not trie to federate previously.

 

I'm new to lemmy, only been here a few days, but I have already ported over one of my reddit bots to Lemmy and it was really easy, like orders of magnitude easier than it was to get my first reddit bot working.

There are lots of wrappers available and I am researching everything to figure out how best to proceed with a more serious bot. Most of my scripts for reddit were moderation tools. Lemmy doesn't seem large enough to need a lot of moderation yet, but I still want to get to work creating things because it's fun.

I'm finding documentation scarce in some cases so I just wanted to pose a question here. On reddit, if I want to look at posts (or comments, reports, modqueue, and so on) I iterate through a listing and then narrow my search based on what type of post I need.

Does Lemmy use listings, or how do you process posts/comments in the same fashion as you'd do over there?

I haven't had to take any mod actions yet because I don't have any reports, so I haven't really explored any of the mod actions via the api.
