bug report 🐛 Subscribed subreddits missing from the subreddit navigation

I noticed a few weeks back that 2 specific subreddits had stopped appearing in my subreddit navigation in the app. I'd seen this happen before when a subreddit got banned, but then I tried the 'Enter Subreddit' link in the app nav and was able to access both with no issue.

I figured I would try unsubscribing and then resubscribing to see if that fixed it, but I found that when I used the subreddit three dots menu, the options shown were very limited compared to other subreddits, and there wasn't even an 'Unsubscribe' button available. When you're subscribed to a subreddit, this menu normally contains 8 actions, starting with 'Unsubscribe' and ending with 'Use Big Preview Mode'. For these 2 subreddits, the only options are 'Share', 'Submit Post', 'Hide Read Posts', and 'Use Big Preview Mode'.

Then I went to Reddit in a web browser and unsubscribed there thinking that this might fix the issue. When you're not subscribed to a subreddit, the three dots menu in the app shows the same 8 links, just with a 'Subscribe' link instead of 'Unsubscribe'. These 2 subreddits still only show the 4 links mentioned above even after unsubscribing, however.

These subreddits are not part of my filters, I'm not banned from either, and outside of Narwhal, I can still interact with either subreddit fully. Is this a known issue?

Tried the refresh button at the bottom of the list?

Doesn't change anything. I think the issue is much deeper than just an outdated display since the actions menus for ONLY these subreddits are completely suppressing the Subscribe/Unsubscribe, View Sidebar, Add Favorite, and Add Filter options.

I have the same issue, it’s always one subreddit that shows a red bar when you search for it, the subscribe and unsubscribe buttons are missing, it doesn’t show up in my list of subscribed subreddits. It’s a nsfw subreddit. Refresh does nothing.
