Hello, since yesterday I was trying to join new communities but the status is “pending”, always. No luck today. Anyone knows if it is my problem or something doesn’t work? Communities I’m trying to join are quite populated so I found it strange. Thanks

    Its a visual problem. When you click “subscribe” your server sends a message to the other server saying “hey, d4gma subscribed to (insert community here)” and the other server replies “yep, d4gma is now subscribed” at which point the “pending would change to " subscribed”. Usually with communities on small instances this is an instant process and you never see “pending”. What is going on is your server is sending the initial message and the remote server adds you to the list, but the remote server has a backlog of federation stuff and the return message acknologing your subscription does not make it back to your server in the timeframe expected.
