I made a new account on a different instance and tried to subscribe to this community on the new account, but it just says ‘Pending’ rather than joined. It’s not clear from the app what is pending. Or how long it should take

    I have found that by brute force hitting the button between Subscribe and Pending enough it eventually switches to “Joined”. I’m not proud of my troubleshooting method.

      The brute force is strong with this one. I have seen the power of this technique. But if it doesn’t work after 2 or 3 times I generally chill out and try again later, no use queuing up 1.5 million subscribe/unsubscribe messages if the instance hosting the community is legit broken for a while.

    It’s a cosmetic bug, you are in fact subscribed and the post will appear on your subscribed tab

    Beehaw defederated so all my subscriptions there show as pending.

    Also, I’ve read perviously it doesn’t mean anything. You are subscribed and it will eventually change.
