Export/Import Communities
Since lemmy.world is having trouble for the second time in three days, I decided to switch back over to my lemmy.ml account. Unfortunately I don't have all of my communities back over here in my .ml account, and it took me over an hour to manually subscribe to the ones I had over on my .world account.
It would be great if there was a way that we could export our community list from one instance and import it to another. It would make it much easier to change communities if the need arises.

Don’t threaten me with a good time!
No country for old men. I get that it's supposed to be bleak and not resolve at the end. I still hate that it's bleak and doesn't resolve at the end.
Yes! I was expecting more, and was left feeling cheated at the end with no resolution. It felt like wasted time.
Create Community?
I am relatively new to Lemmy, although I’ve had my account since before the current Reddit uprising and migration. I want to create a community for pen lovers, since that was one of my favorite subs over on Reddit and there’s not one here.
I was able to go to the main page on Lemmy.ml and choose to create a community. I put in the sidebar text, an icon, a banner, etc., and pressed “Create”, but I keep getting a popup telling me to “Match the requested format” over name at the top. I’ve tried “pens”, “!pens”, “c/pens”, “/c/pens”, and “https://lemmy.ml/c/pens”, and nothing seems to work. Any idea what it’s asking for?
(And yes, I did a Google search and fell down several rabbit holes, but came up empty for an answer.”
