If you’re seeing “subscribe pending” on any communities it’s a bug, you’re still subscribed.
There isn’t an approval process to subscribe to communities - anyone with a Lemmy account can subscribe. What are you seeing that looks like you need approval?
There can be an approval process for signing up to an instance/server, though.
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 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 think they’re referring the Subscribe Pending prompt that some communities give when trying to subscribe.
I’ve noticed it myself and actually have been wondering the same thing
You don’t. I’m not even sure that’s an option yet.
Do you mean creating an account on an instance?
