    When I search for a community that isn’t on my local instance, I often get a “subscription pending” text, instead of it immediately changing to “joined”.

      I think that’s the server taking longer to process the subscription request.

      I noticed this too, but it feels more like a pull for the community is scheduled, and usually within minutes I’ll see in under my subscribed.

      I don’t think it’s about approval (there is no “approve subscribers” option when setting up new communities on lemmy). I think it’s a bug or burp in the process. I had about 5 pending the other day and now only one shows it now. All of them function normally.

        It seems all of them work as well, but if I look at communities I’ve subscribed to around 20-30 say subscription pending. Most of them are subs I found yesterday, but some are from several days ago.

          Here’s the bug report for it on github. As far as I can tell it’s cosmetic. Some folks report that unsubbing/resubbing fixes it but I haven’t tried that.

          Edited to add: my sub for this community shows pending. :-)
