Request a subreddit
Make requests for new subreddits/communities here, using the name of the subreddit as the title, or with a link to the subreddit as the url.
For anything else, go to [email protected].
Requests for NSFW subs should be marked as such.
They often have nsfw thumbnails, and will show up unblurred on other servers.
Warning: Use common sense when requesting.
Comments are not copied over. So requests for explainLikeImFive or askMidgets are useless, since you'll never get the answers here.
Also keep in mind that each sub you request here takes resources to process forevermore. So, you know, show some restraint.

That could work, but it would be terrible for discoverability. In the mean time, I put up a feature request at Lemmy. I'm not a fan of pushing my problems upstream, but in this case it would actually be the easiest solution - as far as I can see (and I have 0 experience with Rust) they only need to adjust the validation regex, because the database already allows for it. That is - as long as the ActivityPub protocol allows for it.
If they deny it, I could try something with name mapping, but you'd either end up with something that is unreadable, or something with a high collision chance. Neither option is very appealing. For now I'm just going to wait and see.
AFAIK max username length on Mastodon is 50 characters. That should be a sensible limit that would allow keeping us interoperating with them.
I see the issue is closed, does that mean another request for this sub will work?
Yeah, I've upped the limit on this server, so it should come through now if you retry.
