Apologies in advance, newbie here.

I’ve encountered an issue when trying to subscribe to new communities, wondering if I’m doing something wrong or something is broken. The workflow seems to be as follows:

1. User goes to Aussie Zone (AZ) community browser and searches for desired communities to join (either by keyword search filtered by communities, or something like using Lemmy Explorer to search and find the exact community address to search).

2. User browses to that community from AZ instance (because there’s no direct “subscribe” button in the search page)

3. User clicks the “Subscribe” button in the top right dialog box for that community.

My problem in this flow (which has worked for some communities, but not many) is that when browsing to the community and going to find the subscribe button, in most cases it’s simply just text saying ‘subscribe’ with no link/button. Is this just a bug, is there a delay in syncing that you have to wait for, or does this indicate the community is not federated with AZ?

Thanks!
