Bungie's suggested workaround of joining from the dashboard is not working. You can click join session from party chat or profiles but the game never prompts you to join the fireteam. High power level, non-matchmade content is effectively blocked for a large number of players until the patch arrives on 12/14.
External link →It's been a disaster on PS4 for a while now and definitely harming the experience for anyone who is remotely interested in end-game content. The companion app/fireteam site used to be great because you could directly invite people by pressing the button the app. Now you need to manually search the person's PSN to add them to your party.
With yesterday's patch, it seems even crazier. I lucked out because I was able to look up one of the fireteams member's profile and join using that, but in my experience most of the time when I try viewing someone's profile, I either don't see Destiny, or I get an error when trying to join.
I know it's not a big comfort, but we are actively investigating. While we think we may have an isolation for the problem, we don't have an ETA for resolve yet. Keep an eye on BungieHelp for updates, I think, is the best I can offer right now.
