I got the Pending Subscription message for days. I tried multiple instances with the same result.
Thank you

You will get the posts in your feed, even though the sub is pending.
The pending thing happens when federation on that instance is overloaded. You'll have to come back later and unsub and resub to get the pending thing to go away.
@MentalEdge@sopuli.xyz If the instance is overloaded, how do you still get posts then?
Does the subscription being pending remove any functionality or change the behavior at all?
You sometimes don't... Or they come in with a delay. Comments and votes are also going missing. It's a known issue with the bigger instances, outgoing federation gets bottle-necked and starts dropping stuff. v18 improves it massively but .world hasn't updated in waiting for v18.1
Not that I can tell. It might, if you're the first to sub, but aside from then, you still get anything that makes it to your server in your feed.
