  • Ive got some more info. Good news, sites not broken. edits to follow shortly.

    Edit: Ive done some more testing and it looks like the length of the community name is the issue.

    I was looking to create the community ‘anaustralianphotographersnotesbook’ but that seems to be too long.

    I have successfully created some communities with shorter names (not display names).

    I have to head out and will be away for a while, but can come back and do another reply in approx 12-14 hours after trying some more. I will see if i can replicate creating a community name <x characters and not creating one > y . Maybe its an issue with lemmy software and not the instance.

    I was trying to create a community i could use and make posts like useful linux commands that others might be as ive searched for some things and gone to tech forums.

    I wanted to have a place i could write some things (within site rules of course) and not have anyone else delete.









  • I don’t see how this could be enforced. There’s no requirement for each instance to run the same software ad others to require this.

    As open source, someone could create a private fork and just not do it.

    There could also be communities where up vote and down vote farming could occur so save them for other communities.

    Now for the good news. If you were a school or uni or some other organisation, you could make your own instance and have to software changed to enforce this and not federate as the organization controls the servers used and the code on it.
