I’m new here, fleeing reddit and it’s war on anonymity. Happy to be here!

I created my account on Lemmy.world, and yesterday learned how to subscribe to communities on other servers.

I was adding a few from Lemmy.ml, but hit a snag with a couple, using the ‘Privacy’ community as my example: when I hit ‘subscribe’ and enter ‘Lemmy.world’ as the instance to follow from, I just get a white page with ‘Server error’.

I left it 24hrs and tried again, and its still the same.

Any hints?

    Thanks for the in-depth response :) I’ve discovered I can copy / select text within summit - something I used to find an annoying limitation of the reddit app, so that’s nice to have. So far I’ve discovered that community discovery within lemmy.world is just as easy in-app, but it is easier to search other servers from the web instance. So far, for things like referencing text whilst formulating a response I totally agree, but for shorter stuff I’m happy to app-switch between summit and web if needed, and for longer stuff, as an elder web user I’m no stranger to using a laptop.
