Yes, they get stuck forever sometimes. When I come back a few hours later they’ll often go through though.

But some lemmy.ml communities refuse to even federate at all and I don’t know why yet. For instance I can federate this lemmy community as expected through sh.itjust.works:

But e.g. the kubuntu community doesn’t work:

I get 404: couldnt_find_community. I’ve found a couple dozen others I’d like to subscribe to which do the same thing.
