everytime I try to make one it just says community already exists.

I used random names with cat /dev/urandom | head | base64

I've tried multiple times with no luck.

hmm, I haven't tried recreating the ones I made which were lost with the last instance crash, maybe that's a good thing.

I wish this server were more stable because low-fediblock nodes are important in the ecosystem, but sadly I'm only just starting with NetBSD and have almost no money to donate, so I can't help much. I did send in the random few bucks left in my paypal account when they got the server working again at least.

I gave up and created a community on leminal.space.

They call it enshitification.
