Lemmy Support

I'm new ... probably been asked a dozen times, but I searched and do not see the same issue.

I am on discuss.tchncs.de and trying to subscribe to !privacy@lemmy.ml ... and it just flat doesn't work.

There seems to be two ways to subscribe ... from the privacy@lemmy.ml community, I click the "Subscribe" button, which asks for my home instance, then gives me this error:

"Could not fetch !privacy@lemmy.ml"

Alternately, searching for "!privacy@lemmy.ml" from my home page and trying to subscribe thru that, gives me this error message:

"Error!

There was an error on the server. Try refreshing your browser. If that doesn't work, come back at a later time. If the problem persists, you can seek help in the Lemmy support community or Lemmy Matrix room."

... which brought me here.

Thanks in advance.
