Hit the 'Create Community' button, fill in the fields, upload a pic, and finally hit the 'Create' button.

One browser loops my insertion point back to the Name field after hitting the Create button.

The other browser does nothing, no response to the Create button.

I've created another community on a different identity. But am enjoying no success on lemmy.fmhy.ml

Any ideas why and how to fix this?

Update

Zooming out made an error message visible over the name field when the cursor looped back. The message: "Please match the requested format. lowercase, underscores, and no spaces."

I zoom in so that I can read a large external monitor at 3m/10', HDMI out from Android.

The format of my chosen name was abceFghij and the capital was causing the error. Though there are other community names with capitalization, it won't fly in this case.

Thanks for following along.

The "name" is a permament name of the sublemmy and you can only write small characters and no spaces. "Displayed name" is the one you want to have capitalised characters and other stuff in.
