If you’re seeing “subscribe pending” on any communities it’s a bug, you’re still subscribed.
You don’t. The server just can only handle a finite amount of actions per refresh. If you wait like 10-15 seconds your subscribe will go through. It’s got nothing to do with approvals.
There isn’t an approval process to subscribe to communities - anyone with a Lemmy account can subscribe. What are you seeing that looks like you need approval?
There can be an approval process for signing up to an instance/server, though.
I think they’re referring the Subscribe Pending prompt that some communities give when trying to subscribe.
I’ve noticed it myself and actually have been wondering the same thing
