I created a community here, and then tried to follow it from my Mastodon account. On Mastodon it says the follow request is pending approval. But I don’t see any way to approve it from here on lemmy.ml. Any suggestions?
I think that’s somehow a bug. On Lemmy it also sometimes shows “pending subscription”. Normally communities do not need approval and automatically allow all subscriptions.
Try cancelling the follow request and make a new one.
thanks, that appears to have worked.
Also, as a mod, how can I see who are the subscribers to the community?
You can query your DB with something like:
$ docker exec -it lemmystudio_postgres_1 bash # psql -U lemmy lemmy lemmy=# SELECT person.actor_id, community.actor_id FROM community_follower JOIN person ON person_id = person.id JOIN community ON community_id = community.id ORDER BY person.actor_id;This gives you the users and communities they’re subscribed to.
Thanks, but I’m just a user here on lemmy.ml, so I don’t have access to that. If it’s not exposed in the UI at all I’ll open an issue over in GitHub.
Ah, I see! I thought you were an admin with access to the DB, sorry!
No worries, it was still a useful answer as an instance admin might find the post.
I found this post, and it was useful.
