Subscriptions to Lemmy.ml Communities Stuck in Pending

I've got a couple communities on lemmy.ml from Beehaw that I'm trying to subscribe to, but the requests just sit in pending forever. I've tried cancelling the requests and re-requesting multiple times all to no avail. Is there something going on with federation and that instance?

Same situation for me, I'm new and I went on a sub spree. I think the system is buckling under the massive influx of Reddit refugees.
- It seems like federation is spotty for at least the bigger instances. I run my own private instance in addition to having accounts on several, and all of my subscriptions on my instance to Beehaw, lemmy.ml, and lemmy.world are stuck in pending, but they're acknowledged from other instances.
  
  I also posted a reply here from my personal instance about fifteen minutes ago and it hasn't made its way over here, and as far as I can tell I'm properly federated with Beehaw. Also not seeing your comment on my instance, although it looks like it came over from sopuli pretty quickly.
  
  Curiously I see 3 comments on this post and only 2 are showing up :-/
Could be this: “When you see that, you’re subscribed on your instance’s side, it just hasn’t gone to the other instance to update their subscriber number. You’ll still see content from those communities in your feed while it is pending.”
- I guess that would make the sense. I wonder why it's just this one instance I'm seeing issues with though 🤷‍♂️
