I'm trying to set up a personal Lemmy instance, and I haven't been able to connect to any remote instances.
The JSON test at https://join-lemmy.org/docs/en/administration/troubleshooting.html#other-instances-cant-fetch-local-objects-community-post-etc returns valid JSON for my instance, and when I attempt to access a community on my instance from another, it does show my community exists, but when I try to subscribe it gets stuck on "subscribe pending" with a similar error in my instance's logs.
Federation is enabled on my instance, and I have tried first searching for the community I want.
The error appears to be related to DNS resolution, and indeed I am unable to connect to the Internet at all in the lemmy-lemmy-1 container.
