Why can’t I follow communities from this instance

I recently attempted to follow communties on this instance from mastodon and they all say pending. Does anyone know why this is happening? Is it possibly related to the federation problems of 0.19?
I made a github issue but I’m not sure if the Devs will help or not since on one hand it’s not their software but on the other hand it seems like a federation issue. 🤷​

    @db0 So the dragonchat one went through, even though it says pending on the instance?

    Looks like. On the DB it says pending is false

    Now that lemmy allows you to export your data, there’s no reason to pre-empt it imho. If anything bad happens, take your data and move to a new instance.
