So are some methods of accessing communities from the federation working for people now? (ones from from Michael Altfield's guide) Earlier today I found that only manually going to lemmy.fmhy.ml/c/@ works, and now it does "404: couldnt_find_community" for a while.

Also subscribing results in "Subscribe Pending" which doesn't seem to go away. Something that will resolve itself hopefully, but reporting in case others experience the same.

Sorry, that was our fault, we were unable to federate with instances for a few hours. Everything should work as intended now.

Sorry for the mistake
