Hey all, wondering if you can help me out here. I’m pulling my hair out trying to subscribe to other instances’ channels. I go onto their channel and click remote subscrib, I out in my Peertube.wtf username, it takes me to their channel via the peertube.wtf page and i click subscribe. It shows a toast saying I’ve successfully subscribed to their channel, but when I go to my subscriptions they just aren’t showing. It subscribes fine to peertube.wtf channels, but not to any channels outside of the peertube instance, even though they’re federated? Is this a bug or intentional? Am I doing something wrong?

    It must be a bug, I’m on peertube.wtf and have been subscribed to dozens of other instance channels for months.

      Interesting. I’ve tried to do this on the peertube app, fedilab and the peertube browser page itself and they’re just not showing in my subscriptions :c

          Appreciate the feedback.

          I think maybe it’s a convergence timeout / delay issue. When I subscribe to something from another instance, it either doesn’t show immediately on my subscriptions, or at all. I don’t know what to do about it aside from trying to subscribe multiple times throughout the day until it finally shows up.

          I even imported a .json with a list of channels I want to subscribe to and they’re still not showing up on my subscription’s list.
