I don't know if this is the right forum to ask this.
I registered today because there was something I wanted to post in The Village Hall. Does anyone know how long it will take my first message to appear? Or is there no standard time limit for this?
there's no definite time limit for premoderated poster's posts appearing. a lot of it depends on ythe time of day. late at night and early in the morning will generally see the posts getting through quite quickly. at busier times it can take u to three hours.
if you post quite regularly for three days (generally) you'll get out of premod.
if you look in the bull you'll find threads specifically for new posters (you can of course post in any thread you like)
Posts are queued for moderation in the order in which they have been posted, and how long yours will take to appear will depend on how many posts are ahead of you in the queue (as wlp says, some times of day are less busy) and how many moderators are available to approve posts. It'll also be affected if there are a lot of contentious posts being referred to the moderators ('catpeeing') at the time.
As wlp says, if you post a dozen or so messages per day, as long as none of them are contentious, you should get through pre-mod in three days or so. The 'snorkers and newbies' thread is made available specifically for posters in pre-mod to post lots of brief messages to help them get through.

Click on 'FAQs and Info' from the foot of the menu to the left, then on 'Message board FAQs' from the menu to the top right of the page you're directed to. Unfortunately the links to the abbreviations and jargon pages are broken at the moment, but you can link to find older versions of them in message 37 on this thread: F2693942?thread=5884084&skip=0&show=200#p74968816
