Why can't I create more communities? (lemmy.ml)

I have created two communities, but it seems like I can no longer create new ones since when attempting to create one, it gets stuck in a looping circle.

But what if there are namespace conflicts? For example, you create a community on both Lemmy and Beehaw with the same name, but wouldn't that cause conflicts?

No. There is a !gaming@lemmy.ml and a !gaming@beehaw.org.

Each community is suffixed by the instanced they are hosted in. So if the mods of one community are shitbags or the rules made a community a shit abyss, just use the same community of another instance that you feel is better.

No they would be completely unrelated. Both of those two instances already have a memes and a music community already, both completely separate.

[–] ColonelPanic@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

No, because the full community name always includes the instance name too. For example, there are already both !gaming@lemmy.ml and !gaming@beehaw.org which are independent from each other.
