Having trouble creating a new community - Lemmy.World

I’m looking to create a new community, so i clicked on the ‘Create Community’ button on the top. I entered in a community name (all lowercase, no spaces) and then a display name. I added a short description and selected english. I clicked create and got a hourglass like icon for about a second and then nothing. A new page didnt appear, i checked my profile and cannot see the new community name. I checked a post a few hours ago in Lemmy World support and someone else is having trouble. Ive also tried on two devices, desktop & mobile. p.s. on mobile there is a issue that could result in butting heads where if you hover over the create community textbox it gives text of ‘lowercase, underscores and no spaces’ but these constrains are not listed in the ? next to Create community. When i was on mobile i wasnt able to get the hovertext and if it was my first time creating a community, i may not have been able to see this info. Thanks.

What is a community you like and would recommend to others and why? - Lemmy.World

Was out on a walk earlier today and wanted to do something sort of Christmas related and try and help people pass on virtual presents in the form of community suggestions. What is a community you think more people should be subscribed to and why? My answer is https://lemmy.world/c/superbowl [https://lemmy.world/c/superbowl] ( Superb Owl, not Superbowl. It’s a community about birds) and there is frequently high quality images of owls posted which I find cute and I wish I could take shots like that. P.s. I know birds aren’t everyone’s thing, but I wanted to use it as an example. And I the community is NSFW but the name isn’t obvious, flag it as NSFW.

Two tired Tawny Frogmouths (New South Wales, Australia) - Lemmy.World

I was out recently noticed two Tawnys in a tree, i was surpirsed as the last i saw any was around a year ago and it was just one where i’d always seen two together. These two looked very tired. The one on the left was more awake and i felt like i was being glared at. ‘Dude, I’m watching you, I don’t like you and if you come closer, we might have to move, and we really, really don’t want to do that’. So i came close enough to get this shot and left them in peace but am keeping an eye out for them the next time in the area.

Mods: Sorry if this doesnt fit the sub, but I think people commonly mistake Tawny’s for Owls, and they’re the closest animals to owls Im likely to see. The image is Original Content (taken by me). Let me know and i’ll post to birding or just pics.

Not something urgent, but the Aussie parliament passed new laws yesterday and it could impact Lemmy.world (in a year) - Lemmy.World

Hi Lemmy.World Admins and Support Staff, I like this place a lot and wanted to give you a heads up pollies down under passed some new laws. The govt wants a ban on social media for everyone under 16. This week was the last sitting week of parliament and a few bills were passed by both houses and are set to become law. (See link). I’m not after any immediate reaction or actions, but looking to bring it to your attention for you to discuss how you would react. I haven’t seen the legislation and don’t know how this is meant to be mechanized and it seems pretty hard to do. Some other tech giants have already made statements as this appears to be a worldwide first. -AnAustralianPhotographer

I got the feeling they knew they were being photographed, but one of them screeched an alarm shortly after and the whole group flew off. I saw a flock well over a hundred flying around the suburb later that day. > > [https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/96a82682-258d-49ee-9bc7-967530c623bc.jpeg]
