I got in the other day which was nearly a week after I applied. They're just overwhelmed right now. Pretty sure they've only got like 4 people doing the approvals.
You can still subscribe to their communities and even reply if you're in an instance that's defederated from them, but you'll only see comments from the people in your own instance.
You don't actually get new content outside of your own though from what i can tell. Some beehaw posts pop up every now and then but they're always from this instances users that likely don't know that the defederation took place.
Beehaw will silo themselves and the only way you'll see their content is to say you love heavy-handed moderation echochambers.
Tried joining it like 5 times - no luck yet. You think saying "I love mods" straightforward would work?

They just reject me every time, idk why. They reply pretty fast in a day or two.

All content from people from instances federated with yours it seems from what I can see in my feed.
True, the rest of the point stands and there's a worrying slow reaction against communities/instances that are actually dangerous
