Community name is probably invalid. Make sure it:
-
is all lowercase
-
has no spaces
-
is twenty characters or fewer
You can change the way it looks with display name later to add spaces, capitalization, extra words, even emojis.

This I know. This is not the first community I've created on my instance.
Oh wait I'm an idiot it was more than 20 characters.
Can you create comments? Subscribe to remote communities on other hosts? Is it working with shakedown testing?
I can do both of those things. What's shakedown testing?
Shakedown testing, "test drive". Ok, so your federation outbound comments deliver to servers. Something is working.
I figured it out. The name I was trying to use was just too long. Thanks though!
cool, have a good weekend.
You too!
What do your logs say?
I'm dumb. The name was more than 20 characters. At least I figured out how to find the logs if I need to. Thanks anyway!
I installed using Lemmy-Ansible. Do you happen to know where it usually installs Lemmy?
Nevermind I found it. I'm not a 100% what I should be looking for but with the logs open when I tried to create a community this pops up:
at src/root_span_builder.rs:16 lemmy_1 | LemmyError { message: None, inner: duplicate key value violates unique constraint "idx_activity_ap_id", context: SpanTrace [{ target: "lemmy_apub", name: "insert_activity", fields: "ap_id=Url { scheme: "https", cannot_be_a_base: false, username: "", password: None, host: Some(Domain("lemmy.ml")), port: None, path: "/activities/announce/841d4651-628b-4646-931a-78ea698bcb50", query: None, fragment: None } local=false sensitive=false", file: "crates/apub/src/lib.rs", line: 179 }, { target: "lemmy_apub::activities::community::announce", name: "receive", file: "crates/apub/src/activities/community/announce.rs", line: 141 }, { target: "lemmy_server::root_span_builder", name: "HTTP request", fields: "http.method=POST http.scheme="http" http.host=psychedelia.ink http.target=/inbox otel.kind="server" request_id=538bcf0f-2686-4770-bf43-b56ddf0acb52", file: "src/root_span_builder.rs", line: 16 }] }
Although this also seems to be constantly popping up whether I am trying to create a community or not.
