When trying to create community, I get the following error with no way to fix it. Anyone ran into this?

The name (what shows up in the url) has to be lowercase. The display name can have uppercase.

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

That does not sound like something a user should be responsible for? It should just lowercase whatever the user typed in display name. Or if Lemmy want you to have two names just automatically lowercase whatever the user typed in the name...

Hey! I wanted to point out our programming centric instance: https://programming.dev

I can create an Elixir community and make you a mod there if you want!

I was able to delete mine so if you want to create over there, that would be cool.

Alright! I've create an Elixir community over there: https://programming.dev/c/elixir

If you make a post over there I'll make you a mod :) Nice to have you :)

Wohoo! Modded. Welcome :)

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Oh, that's cool. I created an Elixir one here first, but that seems like a better spot for it. Let me see if I can delete the one here.
