They are? I was able to subscribe immediately. Wonder if it’s just being slow now. A few things I’ve subscribed to the last day or so have been slow to show up on my subscription list and I assumed it was the influx from Rexxit bogging things down a bit.
I honestly thought “subscribe pending” was some kind of automated thing. I’ve subscribed to a ton of communities and gotten plenty of pending statuses. If I wait about 5 to 10 seconds, they all change to “subscribed”.
Yeah you have to be careful. I still venture to guess 80% of folks here have no idea how federation works. Over time I hope things get better but federation is not a newbie friendly thing. People have to realize how it works and the more spread out the better.
Bummer that they’re vetting all new subscribers for an iPhone community. Seems like an aggressive gatekeeping tactic for a benign topic.
I’ve heard in other lemmy communities that the vetting is mostly an attempt at an anti-spammer( and anti-troll) measure.

The approved me pretty quickly, but I got “Subscribe Pending” when I clicked subscribe.
