I filled out the form and clicked “create”. It turned into a spinner for a few seconds then just went back to the form. No error, but no action either. When I search for the new community, there are no results.
Hi. On Beehaw you cannot create communities.
In that case this is a #LemmyBug report. The #Lemmy community creation form should not have rendered.
Possibly
It is in the docs: https://docs.beehaw.org/docs/core-functions/community-creation/
I’ve only used the mobile version so I’ve never seen a button for creating a community. What community did you want to start? Get the ball rolling and perhaps it can be put to a vote? Emphasis on the perhaps.
no worries… i was going to create a personal finance one but ended up doing that elsewhere.
To get the form I simply go to $URL/create_community. That form still renders.
Removing the button but leaving the webform & yet making the form submission fail to prevent community creation reminds me of Office Space, where Melvin (or Marvin… forgot his name) got moved to the basement then was later sacked but no one told him. Then payroll had a glitch where they kept paying him. And when they figured it all out, their fix was to just /fix the payroll glitch/. So when someone fills out that create community form, it’s like Melvin showing up to work to do some labor not knowing that the labor wouldn’t pay off. I’ve experienced this before a few times in different situations in Lemmy where you do some labor on a form then it’s just tossed.
