Is this based on instance performance accepting the subscription, or is it a generalize Lenny bug where it doesn't send it properly?

Lemmy federation, server to server, is having a number of problems. Comments and postings aren't always getting copied over to all the servers who have subscribers. For over a week, Lemmy.ml has had regular nginx 500 error codes on the front page, sometimes you have to refresh 3 or 4 times to get a page to load.
Growing pains.
Your specific issue is documented and I opened a fresh issue on it today: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/3203

Many instances are simply overloaded, so the requests get hung up.

Do you know if they have retry logic?

That I'm not sure on. Hopefully someone smarter than me can answer that question.

It appears that maybe there is no retry logic: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/3203
You should generally click the pending button to cancel the subscription request and then try again, possibly after waiting "a while" for the instance to have a moment where it feels less existential dread.

I have a couple pending subscription but they still show up in my subscribed list and I can interact with them fine so at least for me it’s just a visual bug.

Jup, at least some of them show up in the "subscribed" feed as well. But it is a but strange.
