This is definitely a caching issue. That menu is updated only as needed, but does not check for external changes. I’m going to update that so it is not cached and rechecks its state when opened.

Yes, I’m I’m working on finalizing some of the new features and bug fixes so I can push out the next release. If needed, I’ll disable some of the new features so I can push out a working build while I continue to work on them. Either way, I’ll have an update out before it expires.

It’s definitely a useful feature. I’m still hoping that this is eventually added to Lemmy natively, as it would be more efficient, and accessible for more users. It makes for a good alternative to following topics such as on mastodon.

It sounds like I should probably find a way to make this feature more apparent though. As it is right now, the UI doesn’t really express that this feature is available unless you’ve already created a community group.
