Trouble adding community from another server (lemmy.ml)

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?

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.

    Yeah so this is how I started -searching !privacy@lemmy.ml however despite me knowing its there and being able to visit it, it doesn't appear as a result.

    That's what led me to visiting Lemmy.ml and clicking subscribe from that end.

    Any way - subscribing from Summit has worked, and the privacy@lemmy.ml appears in my subscription list on the web ui too.
