Just reapply. Membership applications to Yahoo! groups automatically expire after 2 weeks if the moderator takes no action. You might have applied while the moderator was on vacation or sick.
If the application asks you to explain why you want to join, be sure to write a line about yourself. I moderate a different type of group that was ruined years ago by spammers. Therefore, I accept members only if they write a line explaining why they want to join the group. I will not accept someone who writes "Please let me join your group." because it's so characteristic of spammers.
