Trouble adding community from another server
-
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?

Cheers and welcome. Not sure if this is your issue, but I found I can’t subscribe to an community that has a user with the same name as the community…never found a workaround for that. Also, .world may have just banned .ml out right lol.

Thanks!
That's... An interesting bug.
I've added a couple of communities from .ml without issue, so it does seem to be specific to that one community. -

Yah I tried to subscribe to it from my instance as well and it retuned “Server error” as well so it’s not just you. -

Are you using a Lemmy mobile app? On voyager I just view the privacy community at privacy@lemmy.ml and select subscribe from a drop down. I don't have to choose any instance to follow from. I've never had an issue subscribing from voyager.

Maybe its the username thing - who do we talk to about bugs around here?!

Looks like you are .world, so go to the main page and check the sidebar. There is a questions/help section. I think there is a support community listed.
!support@lemmy.world

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.

If you've been wanting to move your activity history from Strava to FitPub but dreaded dealing with the export files, I made a small browser tool that does the heavy lifting.
