Ah, I can see how the 'name' field can be misinterpreted. That was supposed to be the short name of the community, and it will appear in the URL. Unfortunately, that field can't be changed after the community as been created. Even if we mess with the database on lemmy.ca, it might show up incorrectly elsewhere.
Since the community is just starting out, the easiest would be to make a new one with the name that you want.
There are also a few other communities that you might enjoy:
- [!imadethis@lemmy.zip](https://lemmy.zip/c/imadethis)
- [!knitting@lemmy.world](https://lemmy.world/c/knitting)
- [!lemmy_stitch@sh.itjust.works](https://sh.itjust.works/c/lemmy_stitch)
It's totally up to you if you want to post in those or if you want to build your own community. If you want to build your own, you can also cross post to / from these communities to help it grow.

Thanks, I guess I'll try again.
