The server url string might need a query string.

#. Type your **Username** and **Location** (Server URL), then click on **Find Calendars**.
#. Choose which calendars you want to add and click **Subscribe**

> **_NOTE:_** The Server URL does not required a scheme (`https://`) but might need a query string like `/remote.php/dav`

Thats not the query part of the URL but the path. The query part is everything behind the ?.
I think this should rather point out that you should copy the URL from the calendar app (there are "settings" -> "primary DAV address" which is the URL you need here)

thanks, yeah you are right about the first part. the second part settings / primary DAV address does not exit on my nextcloud based system and calendar app.

Do you have any warnings about /.well-known URLs in your setup checks (in Nextcloud that is under Administration settings->Overview)?

AFAIK recent Thunderbird versions query the RFC /.well-known/{caldav, carddav} URLs automatically.
