From what I understand it’s just a visual bug. You are actually subscribed when you see that.

I read somewhere that it means your instance knows you are subscribed but the other instance hasn’t synced that info yet. AFAIK this shouldn’t affect functionality on your end.
I believe it just means the subscriber count on the instance you’re subscribing to hasn’t been updated.
Must be a bug. I was "subcribe pending" on a community on the instance I'm actually on?! So I clicked the "subcribe pending" button and then clicked subscribe again and it updated to joined immediately!
But I hadn't subbed to this community yet so I tried clicking subscribe and it said subscribe pending. I clicked it off and on again but it still says subscribe pending. I'll try again later.
It's the same for me with this community. It's the only local with that issue. Unsubscribing and subscribing again solved it now. (fixed in last update I guess)
Okay, so I just tried clicking subscribe pending on several subs and clicking subscribe again and it did NOT update to joined on any of them. BUT it did update to joined if I did that and then REFRESHED the page!? So, just a bug.
So in summary, if you click subscribe pending to unsub, then click subscribe again to sub and then refresh the page and you should be joined for real! No more yellow, am I on some kind of trial, subscribe pending yellow button of paranoia!
it's just a display bug, you're actually subscribed.
