Whenever I go to my house from trade or spawn, it shows everything as black, I lose hearts, and eventually die, unless I disconnect and type /home again. I am not sure if this a common glitch, but I would like to know if there is something I can do to fix it, or Intelli could do something. Not sure if this is possible, but thanks anyways!

It is a common glitch, and there are no plans to fix it server-side. My best guess is that this is caused by a design flaw in the client/server interface. (the same flaw that makes speed/fly hacking and no-clip possible)

However, there are a few work-arounds you can try:

1) Place your /sethome on top of a 2-3 high pillar, then remove the pillar. This will often give the chunk time to load before you fall through. Extreme lag will still be problematic. This solution is 100% effective when using /home within 8 chunks of your /sethome.

2) Some people report that putting their /sethome in a place that doesn't allow them to see very far in any direction has fixed their issues. This doesn't seem to work for everyone.

3) If you do get stuck in a "world hole", try immediately relogging. It won't work every time, but it is very effective if you're following 1) and 2).

4) If you get stuck in a "world hole" and the server repeatedly kicks you for flying, you're only hope is to very quickly type /spawn or /trade. This will remove you from the world hole, and you may attempt to /home again. This issue is very rare, and I've never seen it twice in the same week.

I'd suggest 1-2 blocks rather than 3. With one of Intelli's updates to address the issue, when you type /sethome, your home point goes to a block above where you are currently standing. So if you make the pillar too high, you'll suffer falling damage whenever you go home.

Until recently, every time i used /home the chunk would fail to load. A manual disconnect/reconnect would resolve the error.

Stacking 2 blocks, standing atop, using /sethome then removing the two blocks fixed all of my /home glitches.

My thanks to the

that suggested this. (LM108?)

ymmv

Just saying, if you're not in a world hole, then most of the time, disconnecting, then reconnecting works for me.
