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

I am pushing now an update to make the name filter to allow searching for substrings. This should be obviously the default behavior instead of just exact matches. I'm also removing the default filtering for logged-in users.

I'll see what is going on with your subscriptions.

Again, thank you for all your help and patience.

No worries, thanks for all the help and patience!

I realised I forgot to provide my other accounts name. The one associated with my Reddit account is IAmABakuAMA.

I've also been having the same 500/community is already created issue with r/3DS, although now that I know how the search and filter system works, I can probably just do it through that
