Description
Choosing one of the promoted instances works...
If I type in an instance, it says "is a valid instance". But then "An error occurred loading posts..."
I assumed it was because I was trying non-Mastodon servers, but I just tried some on Mastodon 4.10+glitch and they also failed. I can log into my own instances on glitch servers, but can't add them as "Local Timelines"...
Hope I'm using these names correctly - seems like "local" should mean what you're signed into as a member, and "remote" should be what you're just peeking at... But I'm trying to copy what the app shows.
Maybe instances can block the Remote feature? Is there a way to know what is (not) happening here?
Is there documentation somewhere?

Research direction
Start by reproducing the failure in the Local Timelines flow with both promoted and manually entered Mastodon instances, including the glitch instances described. Trace the loading path and its error reporting; done means the cause of the failed loads is identified and users can understand whether an instance is unsupported, blocking the request, or otherwise unavailable.
