When I try to subscribe to a community and it says “Pending”, what does that mean from a technical perspective?

    I belive that means a mod of that sub needs to approve you. I’ve had this happen woth a few I’ve joined i got in eventually.

    I am guessing it’s a default setting for new communities and many if them have yet to turn it off or somthing.

      It’s not always a mod that has to approve, this feature in Jerboa is buggy. In almost all cases where it said Pending in Jerboa, I’ve tried adding that same community through the web UI and it worked instantly.
