Thank you so much - should have included that! I've updated the post as I searched before and after trying to create just in case! I can't attach screen shots as image upload is giving an error at the moment.
Make sure you only use lowercase letters and no special characters. That was the issue I was having, as the error message is broken.
Yeah, I also have issues with that :( not even a console.error or something, it's annoying at best
Wanted to add that after the .18.1 update, we atleast get a console.error which is great but I keep getting a "invalid_name" error. Had a look at the Lemmy code and it's using a function to validate the name and it seems limited to 20 characters (seen on the API test files).
Could that be increased in the future?
