when creating a new community, what's the difference between the name, and display name? (lemmy.world)

Does the name need to be like the URL, or just what you wanna call the community? There's a little help icon next to the text box, but tapping it doesn't seem to make any help text show up.

Thanks for the help!

The name is the name of the community. The actual name that’s all lowercase is the name it will show on the URL. You can name the community anything but the url cannot have weird things in it
