Hi there,
I've been chugging through trying to do my bit for the project by creating subreddits and providing alternatives for them. However the subreddit process seems to be a little buggy (unless I've done something wrong, which honestly isn't unlikely).
As an example, I want to suggest [email protected] as the Lemmy alternative to r/Sydney on Reddit. All was mostly fine, I added the Lemmy community to Fediverser, categorised it as local groups, then went over to the subreddits page, tried to create Sydney. It didn't let me, as "Reddit community with this Name already exists."
I figured someone else must've done it, but it hasn't been linked to [email protected], so I went to https://fediverser.network/subreddits/Sydney, and just got a 500.
I'm not sure if that's the intended way to access subreddits or not, but it's how I was able to create and suggest alternatives to a few other subreddits. I'm not sure whether it's intentional or not, but the subreddits page is completely empty, so there doesn't seem to be a way to search for subreddits, or to see if one already exists, except by trying to create it and seeing if it errors or not.
I'm also having the same issue with r/AustralianPolitics as well, and I briefly had the same issue with another subreddit (though I can't remember which one). That one resolved itself after 15 minutes or so, auspol and sydney have been broken for around 24 hours or so
Happy to help!
