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.
Fantastic, thank you for the steps and explanation!
Don’t do lemmy.ml tho, they don’t allow free community creation.
And other instances that do, are probably overloaded anyway, honestly.
Mine allows free community creation and is nowhere near overloaded. I also put a lot of effort in maintenance, etc. Shameless plug, I know. But honestly, I don’t care if people use my instance or not. I just think we need to spread the load, that’s all.
Ah I saw this only now, otherwise I’d have subscribed to your instance!
Don’t worry about it. lol.
So you won’t mind if I register to test some stuff regarding federation? Lemmy.world and ml are getting so hammered, it’s impossible to figure out anything, because things keep breaking randomly.
Go ahead!
Thank you for the heads-up!
You’re welcome!
Btw., subbed to your new community. I’m a Linux user of 19 or so years and I love everything about it.
Cheers, I hope other people will take over the moderation. Let me know if you’re interested :)
I already have my own instance and only so much time! But you’ll find someone. You could post over at /c/[email protected] to find people willing to moderate. My personal belief is that a Community first needs a little bit of activity before trying to recurit someone.
Yet one more very useful piece of info. Cheers!
