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. 🙂

Cool, I did a quick search to see what FOSS non-slop apps people were recommending, and summit came out well.

Can you elaborate on specifically what is more difficult to achieve within the app? I don't

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.
