I'm getting this error that says Error. I can't tell if I fat-fingered the community name in the URL, or it got removed, or it doesn't exist in the first place, or maybe there's a legitimate issue with the software, but I hope it's useful!

I need to clarify because some people apparently never encountered the error page: it used to show the actual error. It was later changed to not do that.

(apologies for the atrocious aspect ratio)

This might actually be helpful. The fact that it's just the word "Error" in red could be just the clue the developer needs. You don't know.

ERROR: An ERROR has occurred. Please correct this ERROR.

It used to show the type of error, like couldnt_find_post. It was changed and now it returns Error for everything. How is that helpful?

Well, your original post lacked that context.
