    This is helpful! Does anyone know what it means when you try to subscribe to a community and it just says “Subscribe Pending”? That has happened to me 2-3 times, and it just seems to stay like that.

      I do not know for sure but I’m assuming that whoever set it up required sub approval, similar to how some instances require you to apply before being admitted. I’ve seen it too, but most/all went through within a few hours with no rhyme or reason, so that’s my best guess.
