which will show you the user, the community they’re trying to join, and the instance they’re trying to join on. Example:
(redacted my users in case they don’t want it known what they’re trying to join.
I believe it is a glaring symptom of federation replication failure. Data isn’t making it back from the remote server to confirm the join. Either the outbound never made it to the remote, or the remote never made it back to your server. Multiple instances have had users complaining of these federation failures, example: https://lemmy.ml/post/1280517
You (the end-user) can try to cancel the join of the community and join again to trigger new connection to the server. I would also add the date to the output so you can try to see when these failures are happening (are they all on the same day?)

Yeah sorry, I didn’t realize you meant remote community joins. I have had that problem in fact I still can’t join several communities due to that issue.
why would community joins be pending?
edit: Ah I see. A better query might be:
SELECT p.name, c.name, i.domain, p.local, * FROM community_follower inner join person p on p.id = community_follower.person_id inner join community c on c.id = community_follower.community_id inner join instance i on c.instance_id = i.id WHERE pending='t';which will show you the user, the community they’re trying to join, and the instance they’re trying to join on.

Thank you for sharing the query.

What software are you using to view the queries?
I use DataGrip. It’s fantastic.
