Some servers, like lemmy.ml or beehaw are aching under their respective load, so everything takes a while. Couldn't even log into lemmy.world, which is why I wandered off to sh.itjust.works
I believe it just means that the instance you tried to subscribe to hasn't responded to the federation request yet. Just wait a while and it'll resolve itself, assuming they haven't blocked you or something (and assuming that instance isn't down).
And if it doesn't work itself out in "a while", it's safe to click pending to unsub and then try to resub again. Though doing this a million times in a row while lemmy.ml is groaning under load is probably not helpful.
I'm guessing you're seeing this on non-local communities? I think it means you're local server hasn't started copying and caching that content yet. I haven't taken a look at that part of the code yet, so just a guess.
It means the server has too much load, spamming it isn't going to help that. You can just leave it like that and it'll show up in your communities as pending until it gets loaded.

I love this instance and I hope it continues putting people off with its name.
The name and logo make it extra awesome :D
Yeah haha, if anything I think it's an attractor

Yep. Mostly lemmy.ml for some reason, yet it's not every community. Been hanging out since yesterday.
Yeah, I have several pending subscriptions on lemmy.ml as well. It definitely seems to correlate with how overloaded the instance is.
I also have this issue on all communities on lemmy.ml
I've had pending subscriptions for 5 days now. Are things overloaded that badly?
Try cancelling and trying again.
Yep that did it. I had to do it like 5 times but eventually got subscribed. Thanks!

This did not work for me ;-(
