Status update:

• succeeded in reproducing the described or similar problem in several scenarios
• In some cases the problem was that the chat sent from status-go was initially empty. I made a naive fix: fix(communities)_: naive fix for spectated communities new channels member list status-go#5190 which fixed the problem, but only on the event sender side.
• The second set of problems is that when getting communityDescription in nim, the request for community members happens before handleCommunityUpdates and the community is added to the service. See here:
