So I'm a reddit refugee and trying to understand how Lemmy works. Some of the communities I try to join say "subscribe pending". Why is that? Anyway to fix this?

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 hasnโ€™t 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.

Of course itโ€™ll also mean that subscription requests to defederated instances will stay in a pending state. As the other instance will just ignore the request.
