Why are my subscriptions stuck on "pending"?

Some of my subscriptions to lemmy communities (including this one) have been stuck on "pending" for a month and do not show up in my subscription feed.

What's up with that?

This is a support question, related to how to use Lemmy. Please see the sidebar for suggestions on where this question would fit.
- Ignore this "you're asking in the wrong place" response.
  Others have been experiencing this too. It appears to have no real affect on your subscription status. I have a few like that as well. They still behave as if they are successfully subscribed.
  Pfft. This dude. It's like this guy's where you google something to find the answer, arrive at a prospective link and "omg why are you asking, go Google it".
  
  Do you realize that you're advising OP to ignore a mod (in a reply to said mod) of this community who is being perfectly chill while informing OP about the published rule 3, which the community mods have stated they're being relaxed about while so many new Lemmings are joining, but not giving up on forever?
  Rule 3 is quoted below, and helpfully directs people to active communities that are dedicated to support:

just a visual thing, don't worry about it. it'll function just like if you are subscribed
- It's not just visual, posts from these communities don't show up in the subscribed feed. At least that's the way it is for me. Sometimes clicking the button again twice helps, but not always. Though at least that adds the communities to the list of subscribed communities.
  Edit: Hm, just checked again, and I was wrong. Seems like they are showing up in the subscribed feed. Maybe I got that impression from some other issues my instance had before updating.
I fixed this on some communities by unsubscribe and subscribing again (after the instances updated to 0.18.X)
If you go back and reload the community Page, does it remains stuck in pending?
"have you tried turning it off and back on again?"
i.e. i've seen it correct itself by unsubscribing and subscribing again
