    It looks like there is already a community with the same name, but when I go there to subscribe, it says “removed by mod.” maybe that’s my issue. Because even when I try to open new tabs and navigate to the community I’m trying to create, it’s not working.

      Check your profile to see if you mod anything

        Nope, no luck. But I’ll figure it out, I’m determined. I really appreciate your help!

            So I changed the name of the community, and it was created instantly. It looks like the other mod created a community with my desired name then deleted it, but the name was still taken. I’m now a proud mod of my own community, https://lemmy.world/c/bipolardisorder. Thank you again for your help!

              Yes, the group name remains with a deleted flag set. I’ve seen an admin for its home instance go in and delete them when it was brought to their attention, so that’s an option for anyone else having this issue in the future.
