Why can't I get accepted to join a group I have subscribed to?

Question

I am new and still in pending status.

Answer 1

In some groups the members have to be approved by the owner or the moderator. And it takes up to 14 days to be approved. Maybe the owner or the mod didn't have the time to look at their groups to approve your membership.

Answer 2

Some groups require that a moderator vets your application personally. This may take some time if the moderator is only available during part of the working day.

They might have declined your application if they flt that it is not relevant to the aims of the group.
