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?

I am now! Summit let me subscribe with a single tap, and I prefer the UI to the web version.

Cheers.

Summit is one of the most beautiful apps for Lemmy. That said, it can be very hard to do things in it, so you may want to get acclimated to using the webpage version of Lemmy before you let yourself enjoy the ease and beauty of Summit on a daily basis, so that you are not as frustrated trying to get things done more quickly later on.

Fwiw, I am typing this using Voyager, but here too I often find myself needing to pop open a post in the browser environment. ๐Ÿ™‚

Summit is great. On the web, search for remote communities in your own instance server. This will let access the com within your home server, and you should be able to subscribe with a single click.
