Trying to create a new community and I get that error for the name. I try tapping the ? In the circle and nothing. What am I missing?

What characters does the name include? I think only Latin characters, numbers and _ are supported.

Is there an example of the correct format? I tried several but nothing worked.

I was thinking of something like This_is_an_Example_123_NewCommunity. I checked the source code but could not find any checks so this is probably not the right solution. Sorry!

You could also check if a community with the name already exists or try reloading the site (sometimes the latter one helps).

Mine was latin only "lego". I found out that already existed but tried others and none worked either. Growing pains I guess?
