A moderator will have to approve your request.
That's not true, it means that the instance hosting the community hasn't confirmed the subscription request. This confirmation seems to get lost sometimes if the instance is under heavy load.
Of course it'll also mean that subscription requests to defederated instances will stay in a pending state. As the other instance will just ignore the request.
It looks like beehaw is not joinable anymore. I hope other communities' mods approve, tho.
What they said is incorrect, it means that the instance hosting the community hasnβt confirmed the subscription request. This confirmation seems to get lost sometimes if the instance is under heavy load.
Unless they're running a custom version of lemmy that I'm unaware of, there's no such thing as manually approving a subscription request.

Ohhhh, that's why. I was just about to reply about it possibly being server lag, because I've always been able to join instantly on sh.itjust.works. But maybe it's actually because lemmy.world requires mod approval to join communities while sh.itjust.works lets us run wild?
