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.
.World and ML are still federated
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.
It is and whoops you said that lol. 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.
Thanks for trying.
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.
