Am I the only one with a bunch of communities I’d like to join but with a status still on “Subscribe pending”.

I’m still new to all this and I’m really loving it so far, but man, so much stuff is confusing and counter-intuitive. Isn’t the point of having federated instances being able to talk to each other?

    The way it works is that when u are in a pending subscription state, your local instance knows to deliver you the content and you are effectively subscribed, when you go into the subscribed tab the communities that are pending will be populated. The only thing is that the communities instance has not acknowledged your subscription and does not know to add to the subscriber count of the community till it is processed
