When I click to subscribe some groups it goes to Pending stage for a long time before it gets to subscribed.
Is that because the mods accepted my subscription request or is it taking long time?
It happens when you subscribe to a community on another instance. I don’t know any of the details but I’m assuming that subscribing doesn’t require approval.
I think instances communicate by bundling requests into larger batches sent every minute or so to save on network overhead. As such, it may take a while for low-priority interactions to get through.
Pretty sure it’s just bugged. I subscribed to [email protected] over a month ago and it still shows “pending”.
There is no approval process. It can be a somewhat expensive operation of no one on your instance has subscribed to that community yet. That’s why it takes time.
i’ve never heard of a functionality like that.
maybe the instance where the community is located is a bit overloaded? or maybe is a front end thing
