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?

Yes, non-phone browser offers by far the best experience, but also doesn't fit into every workflow so that's the downside. Ofc it depends on what you want from the Threadiverse - long conversations about philosophy and poetry (I've done that! Using a laptop definitely was mandatory for it!!) vs. doomscrolling through shitpost memes to take a mental break between things at work or home (taking a break from bigger screen to stare at small screen).
