That sometimes happen to me, my key is available at my domain but
sometimes codeberg pages freaks out a bit, fails to recognize my custom
domain and serves the *.codeberg.pages certificate, sorry about that, in
case you're talking about my key it is also at the Ubuntu keyserver:
keyserver.ubuntu.com (I used to have that on my sig).

There's not much you can do in those situations. There's not
really much in the way of an advantage compared to downloading from a
keyserver when searching by the key ID.
