If you go to a mailing list on the website (like, say,
https://lists.sr.ht/~sircmpwn/sr.ht-discuss) you should see a blue
button on the left that says "subscribe". Note how there's also a "new
post" button below that lets you send an email to the list without being
subscribed (since most mailing lists are "open").

I'm not 100% sure but if you go to your profile settings on meta.sr.ht,
in the "Keys" sections, you can specify your PGP pubkey and ask
sourcehut to send you a test email to verify that encryption is working.
That email tells you what the server PGP pubkey is.

I suppose that's already what you did. But since sourcehut is open
source and lets anybody install it on their servers, any install of
sourcehut would have its own PGP keys, so whatever the server tells you
it's using is whatever the admin set in the server config and, well,
that's pretty much it.

Now maybe you're asking for whether you can check if the specific server
at https://sr.ht (as opposed to another sourcehut install) has the key
that its admins think it has, and for that we would, I guess, require
some information published on a different server... maybe you can ping
Drew (https://drewdevault.com/) so that he publishes the expected sr.ht
PGP pubkey on a separate server.
