> Ferromagnetic explains half levitation but it doesn't explain full levitation
No one reputable has actually demonstrated full levitation, including the original team.
> Sure, metal ones are, but Are ceramic ferromagnets (without iron) common? That lone electron in an orbital is pretty important.
They literally reproduced this behavior with a substance that looks identical to the original LK-99, so while it would be quite unusual, it is clearly possible. Apparently ferromagnetism without any ferromagnetic compounds has been witnessed before, e.g. in ZnO.
