I have my own instance and that first bullet point hardly ever works. I usually get a complete empty community. Occasionally I’ll get one or two posts, but they will have no comments or votes. Very rarely everything comes through as expected.
In my experience, it usually happen when you try to subscribe to a community from lemmy.ml. Their server’s datacenter appear to have a shitty peering and often timeouts depending on your location/ISP. If your instance is in US, it’ll usually load but not always.

I have had it happen equally on lemmy.ml, lemmy.world, and beehaw.org. I am in the US.
Strange, it usually loads 20 posts on my instance after a minute or so, unless if the community is from lemmy.ml.
