The only exception, unfortunately, was with kbin communities. All the kbin.social ones still showed subscribe pending for me even after following the same procedure. Still, this is a big improvement over having a bunch of half-subscribed communities.

This may be due to Kbin development slowing down recently. Ernest has had some life issues pop up recently, which has taken up a lot of his attention away from development. Hopefully we see some progress on the Kbin side soon, too!
