I tried to create a community but it doesn’t let me and doesn’t throw up any errors. Is there something that I am missing?

    Do you hit the 'create" button and it just returns you to the top of the page with no explanation?

    Then check:

    • The name is all lower case
    • There are no trailing spaces from autocomplete at the end

    Especially on mobile, the errors are currently poorly flagged up (I hear it’s better on the desktop) and those have been the two most common errors that I’ve seen.

    I believe world let’s your create new communities.

    Weird issue that I had, but the name of the community you’re making needs to be in all lowercase letters. Any chance that’s the issue you’re having?

    Are you doing it from mobile or from an app? I tried the other day and it would error but not show what the error was and just scroll up to the top of the form.

    I ended up loading the desktop view from a laptop and was able to create the community
