# A place to discuss privacy and freedom in the digital world. Privacy has
become a very important issue in modern society, with companies and governments
constantly abusing their power, more and more people are waking up to the
importance of digital privacy. In this community everyone is welcome to post
links and discuss topics related to privacy. ### Some Rules - Posting a link to
a website containing tracking isn’t great, if contents of the website are behind
a paywall maybe copy them into the post - Don’t promote proprietary software -
Try to keep things on topic - If you have a question, please try searching for
previous discussions, maybe it has already been answered - Reposts are fine, but
should have at least a couple of weeks in between so that the post can reach a
new audience - Be nice :) ### Related communities - Lemmy.ml libre_culture

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.
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. 🙂
