I setup a new instance a week or two ago, and have some subscriptions to communities on lemmy.world. The logs for the Lemmy process are currently showing a constant flood of warnings for what look like ordinary activity (likes, creates, undos, etc). Here are two recent entries:

Tailing the Docker logs is like watching a torrent of these warnings, and I'm worried about the stress its adding to my fairly meager VM. Any tips on how to debug this? I'm proficient with Rust, so I'm willing and able to jump into the code if it'll help.

I setup a new server a couple of days ago using the Ansible playbook, and some communities are federating successfully even though they're labeled as "subscribe pending", and others that are not populating even though they're labeled as "joined". See attached image.

Q1: What does "subscribe pending" mean? The Memes and Politics communities shown in the image were setup a couple of days ago, but the content is flowing despite them still saying "subscribe pending".

Q2: Why would a community be marked "joined" without the content flowing? I just subscribed to Lemmy Support about 15 minutes ago, and content doesn't seem to be flowing yet despite the status having quickly moved to "joined".

Q3: How can I check the status of things like this either in the database or in the logs? Looking for some general troubleshooting tips, since the logs for the lemmy Docker container are a bit spammy.

Here's something I noticed in the logs right after I initiated the subscription to lemmy_support:

lemmy-1  | 2024-05-06T22:28:43.257408Z  WARN lemmy_utils: error in spawn: Unknown: Failed to parse object https://lemmy.ml/c/lemmy_support/outbox with content {"error":"unknown","message":"Record not found"}: missing field `type` at line 1 column 48

I believe I saw this same issue when I first subscribed to Memes and Politics the other day. What's the best way to debug this?

Thanks in advance everyone, and thanks for all the amazing work.
