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.

    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
