       What does it mean in Mastodon when I try to follow someone and it says "pending" - they have to approve me?

       @kennethrohde yes. You can chose to restrict followers. Like I had to approve your follow request (which I did).

       @kennethrohde @bilboed Yes but also if you are not seeing a lock icon next to that name, it's likely because their instance is under heavy load at the moment. Which is very common these days. :)
