Trouble fetching recent content from many instances.

I'm usually unable to access new communities or instances using the typical process described of putting the handle or URL into the search bar. I noticed this from the beginning, but I waited a couple days to become more familiar with how it worked properly, and in a couple cases things seem to have improved somewhat. But the problem in general remains.

I understand that this could be a general problem not exclusive to Baraza, but I thought I should mention it here in case there are some special or unique conditions applied that I did not know about.
