SOLVED: Our subreddit had a longass name, and Lemmy has a 20 character limit
Hi! Reddit mod from a large-ish but well-known subreddit looking to move things to the Lemmy-verse but for some reason my and my co-mod have had absolutely zero luck for the last 4 days creating a community on any Lemmy server. Whenever we try to create one, we just get the little spinny button of death and it’s never created.
Yes, even here on Blahaj.
Are we cursed?
We managed to create a magazine on Kbin (still glitchy but it’s the only one that worked) but we’re worried that if we don’t snag that exact name on Lemmy, someone else will pounce on the name and grab it for clout, which would be very distressing because we’ve worked our asses off trying to grow that community.
What are we doing wrong? Are our usernames not cute enough? Did someone snag the name and is hiding it from us?
Help, we are not good with computers.

No errors, just a spinny ring of death that lasts until the window is closed. I always choose English as the language.
I thought it was just a server issue until I began trying to make communities on smaller instances like this Blahaj server and I get the same problem. Tried disabling my VPN, still the spinny ring of death.
I’m kind of getting tired creating accounts on every Lemmy server just to keep running into the same damn problem.
