Create community not working? (sh.itjust.works)

I haven't been able to create a community using the create community page. Is it bugged, or do we have to request the community to be made somewhere?

I saw there was a "community requests" community, but I can't find the exact community address now that I'm thinking about it (search tool is not great either...) and I'm not sure if that was an official thing or just for people who don't want to be saddled with moderating a community.

I made a community with no approval. I haven't heard about the process changing since then.

Good to know. I've been going nuts trying to make a community on and off for like a week and it just won't go through when I press the button, I get stuck watching the spinning circle. I tried a couple different devices/browsers too. Hopefully it clears up on its own.

it could be that the community already exists? or not allowed characters? lemmy doesn't always show a proper error messages in a lot of cases.

This is likely the case. Ive gotten a few people reach out to me with this same issue. The update is around the corner, hopefully it fixes a bunch of these bugs

basically if you did something wrong, it doesn't tell you "error, you did something wrong", it just loads eternally, so you have to reload and retry. May be invalid characters, wrong format, too long a name, or whatever the server dislikes.
