I've remade my 3D Printing feed that was breaking this under a new url. Try and make it now.

It's in use by a Feed: https://piefed.social/f/3dprinting

Users, Communities and Feeds are all actors as far as remote fediverse instances are concerned, and they don't necessarily have the means to distinguish between the types, so it's easier if there's no overlap.

However this could cause problems down the line.

This is now a confirmed bug. Feed names are counted as communities here.

Good to know

Yep, sorry, we have https://piefed.social/f/3dprinting and that clashes with it for deeply technical reasons.

There is a solution but it is not straightforward and involves changes to the way PieFed federates. It's high on the agenda, though.

We did. But I deleted it and replaced the feed so cm can make the community
