Nothing happens when creating a new community

pglpm@lemmy.world to New Communities@lemmy.world – 13 points –

In the past two days I've been trying to create a community, but without success. I insert the name (with the allowed characters), the display name, and so on. But when I click on create a spinning wheel appears for a second or two, then goes back to create and nothing has happened. I created two communities previously (10 days ago or so) without problems.

I imagine it's just an effect of the current load for Lemmy.world, but wanted to ask just in case.

One question: with "main account' on step 3 you mean my account here at Lemmy.world?

I don't quite know how to post in a community on another instance: it doesn't appear if I search for communities here in Lemmy.world.

Yes, the account you mainly want to use. In order to find your newly created community from your current instance (lemmy.world), type the following in the search field:

!communityname@instance.tld

Edit: That'll make it discoverable from Lemmy.world in the future, btw.
