I found an active thread in a sub on another instance I’d like to participate in. When I sub to the thread from sh.itjust.works there are no comments; I assume that’s because sh.itjust.works only starts syncing communities after the first subscription. So now I can either read the thread on an instance I don’t have a login for, or participate in an empty version of the thread on sh.itjust.works.

Is there any way to participate in the active thread at this point? Thanks.

edit: Just checked my subscription to the new community is [pending]. Maybe that’s it?

edit2: Thanks to @Barbarian I can at least sub to one of the pending communities, and the others are on lemmy.ml, so I’ll just wait those out.

    Does that get you comments too? In another thread OP said they were trying to access !audiobooks@lemmy.fmhy.ml and when I go to that community via my instance, i see the posts but no comments. And its obviously been a bit since it started syncing. Our instances arent blocked

      It depends on if that instance has blocked your instance that you made your profile on, i know for example beehaw has blocked exploding heads (for very little reason tbh) so now i can’t comment there but on here i can see your comment and give my two cents
