      I get the same from anything but kbin.social communities, including lemmy.world, so I don’t think it’s a lack federation.

        Some random items will work, and some instances seem to work better than others. I have a pretty good track record from communities on sopuli.xyz and I’ve managed to subscribe to a few from lemmy.world but it is probably just chance. I haven’t been able to get a single community from sh.itjust.works to load despite seeing their users all over the place, federation is obviously working at least somewhat.

          Yeah, arkisuomi on sopuli.xyz hasn’t worked, but Suomi and a few others have. kbin.social/m/arkisuomi/@sopuli.xyz results in 404. I guess it hasn’t been pushed to kbin for some reason. And I obviously can’t subscribe
