Sometimes, when I try to subscribe, this happens. Should I just wait? Or is it some error? It's been pending for a day already.

I'm still wondering on this. I suspect it has something to do with refreshes between instances - as if this instance isn't yet away of that community. It's always in foreign instances, regardless.
I had a few that didn't work, then I tried them again a day later and they went through. However I've had others on major instances that still haven't come in (eg /c/asklemmy@lemmy.world).
I'd love to hear @sunaurus' opinion on this.

happening on lemmy.ml communities for me. lemmy.one communities seem fine for me.
edit: its also happening to me on communities outside lemmy.ml now

I'm having this issue too. Could just be a side effect of server strain from the influx of users coming in.

I'm seeing this especially with lemmy.ml communities. The consensus is that it's due to latency, but what's weird is if I cycle the subscription it may go through instantaneously. It's looking more like a bug to me or maybe a combination of code issues and latency.

You'll probably find posts from those communities show up in your sub feed just fine. Seems like it's just a visual bug but you are actually subscribed.

Yeah I understand it still works even if it states subscribe pending, but still it's misleading.
I think it's more than just an instance failing to respond. I mean if it hung for a bit then changed eventually that would be acceptable, but it gets permanently locked in that state, smells of a bug.

It looks to be some kind of bug. Even though it shows as pending the communities still show up in my subscribed feed. I guess it’ll sort itself out over time.
