I was looking for a fly fishing community and saw there wasn’t one. I tried to make one and it it tells me there is already one made. I search for it agian and the search comes up blank again. What is going on?
Someone created c/flyfishishing in the past and then deleted it. Lemmy does now allow deleted community names to be reused, unfortunately.
The simplest route is to pick a different community name. Or, post your flyfishing content to !fishing@lemmy.world or !fishing@lemmy.ca. Both of those communities could use some new life.
Can communities be private and hidden maybe?
