Does the name need to be like the URL, or just what you wanna call the community? There’s a little help icon next to the text box, but tapping it doesn’t seem to make any help text show up.

Thanks for the help!

    Name will essentially be the text after the c/ in the URL
    Display Name allows extra text and will show when people browse using the Communities tab. Text in the Display Name is also searchable

    example: I made a community called ‘retronet’
    that is the Name, which corresponds to this url: https://lemmy.sdf.org/c/retronet

    the Display Name is ‘retroNET - Vintage Culture/Websites/Software’, which is what people see in the Community browser
