[ A young woman with striking features gazes directly at the viewer, she is wearing a white gauzy broad-brimmed hat topped with starched eyelet lace, and her dress is made entirely of more eyelet lace gathered into chaotic-looking ruffles of all sizes and arranged asymmetrically. Her dark blonde hair cascades down one shoulder in tight waves; one the opposite side, a white Anthurium flower is pinned. There is a second woman in the photo, glancing away from us, but she is almost totally obscured by the subject. The image is cropped closely so there is not much background visible but it's dark and a similar color to the subject's hair, creating a pleasant color harmony. ]

[ A Tibetian woman clutches what appears at first to be a bunch of small white flowers, but upon closer inspection, it's the white plugs of PC power supplies dangling below her rough, well-muscled hands. She is wearing a yellow hat tied under her chin with a faded white scarf and has a traditional but ragged Tibetan-style jacket tied around her waist. It is sky blue with yellow trim. A pair of dark pink gloved hands reaches in from outside the frame ready to receive the PC parts, and a figure wearing a similar color bends over facing away from us in the upper right hand corner. Everyone appears to be standing on and among stacks of brown cardboard boxes. The background is unfocused but appears to be industrial scaffolding. ]

[ A graceful, long-legged dog with long pale fur stands on a dirt path, alert but calm. Behind the dog, is a mist-enshrouded forest of bare trees. ]

[ A slightly faded photo of a dozen or so people bent down in a deep yellow field of cut wheat, picking up stray stalks of wheat where the mechanized harvester has left the field looking prickly up close, and striped from farther away. To the left of the group, the wheat stands tall, uniform, and unharvested. In the distance, soft-looking hills sit beneath a blue-grey sky. ]

SOLVED: Our subreddit had a longass name, and Lemmy has a 20 character limit

Hi! Reddit mod from a large-ish but well-known subreddit looking to move things to the Lemmy-verse but for some reason my and my co-mod have had absolutely zero luck for the last 4 days creating a community on any Lemmy server. Whenever we try to create one, we just get the little spinny button of death and it's never created.

Yes, even here on Blahaj.

Are we cursed?

We managed to create a magazine on Kbin (still glitchy but it's the only one that worked) but we're worried that if we don't snag that exact name on Lemmy, someone else will pounce on the name and grab it for clout, which would be very distressing because we've worked our asses off trying to grow that community.

What are we doing wrong? Are our usernames not cute enough? Did someone snag the name and is hiding it from us?

Help, we are not good with computers.
