I seem to remember way back in the day we used to ssh to a server, set

Do not fiddle with $DISPLAY. "ssh -Y" sets $DISPLAY for you, to a
display which is tunnelled _back_ over the ssh connection to your local
machine's X11 server.
You do need the "xauth" programme installed on the Mac in order for ssh
to arrange the access token, but that is easily installed with HomeBrew
or MacPorts or via the Mac XQuartz stuff.
And WRT to the various misinformation in many other posts in the thread:
- the native Mac desktop isn't X11
- there's a well supported X11 system available which can be run on Macs
(XQuartz) which runs as an app, so you _can_ run X11 programmes
locally displayed on a Mac
- both of these things are irrelevant to your "ssh -Y" question
