Comment on Error when subscribing to a community on another server

Sorry, what do you mean by “entered aussie.zone at the prompt”? At a guess you’ve browsed direct to lemmy.ml and clicked subscribe there, instead you should access that community via the aussie.zone site here: aussie.zone/c/lemmy@lemmy.ml

Ahh. Right. Thanks for bearing with me as a new user who is trying to figure things out.
Yes, I happened upon that community at lemmy.ml because I happened upon it by following links from lemmy.world I think. I clicked the big green Subscribe button at lemmy.ml/c/lemmy . I got a dialogue box “Subscribe from Remote Instance. Enter the instance you would like to follow this community from”, and entered aussie.zone

This process worked fine for other communities I subscribed to.
But for this one I got the “Server error” message. (I was later able to subscribe successfully by copy-pasting the community address into the aussie.zone search.)
