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?

If it is private and hidden it makes it impossible to join.

Yesser, but then you wouldn’t be able to create a public version of the same community.
