Relaxed section for discussion and debate that doesn't fit anywhere else. Whether it's advice, how your week is going, a link that's at the back of your mind, or something like that, it can likely go here.
Subcommunities on Beehaw:

Short answer, yes. Think about it like registering for a website somewhere. Sometimes it takes a bit for the confirmation email to arrive. "subscription pending" means it is waiting to finalize the link to the other instance.
It is a "side effect" of this federated network. If you subscribe to a local thread, it is instant. Going to something non-local takes a bit.
Thanks! I sorta figured that but I just wanted to make sure.
If your communities are stuck on subscribe pending for a few days, you can just unsub and resub. This helped me fix it.
You are subscribed but the remote instance didnt respond in a short enough time window
I was wondering the same thing earlier! Does anyone have an idea on how long until it’s no longer “pending” and just subscribed? (Probably depends on the instance, I guess)
