Be sure to only use lowercase, and no underscores. The UI warning about this is broken.

How long is it meant to take for the community to be created. Its doing the same thing

Wait that's on lemmy.ml? Sorry, I missed that part. I think they don't allow users to make coms, you may need to ask admins. I saw a thread to suggest new coms.

Both I think? I wasn't able to make a community on lemmy.ml either but could on lemmy.world.

The community likely already exists and has been deleted by its creator. The creators account may also be deleted. Try yourinstance.tld/c/communityname to see if anything comes up. If so you may need to message your server admins from the sidebar

There are no same communities

Did you do it via url as above? They dont show up from what i can tell with the ! Syntax. If you did the url then i have no idea
