Nice and useful tutorial! 🔥🔥
Was the community creation price lowered recently? I seem to remember it being much higher. Glad to see a decentralized community building platform!
This is a good information. Thank you for sharing this with us.
Creating it is simple, it is difficult to give value to the community and have support in it if you do not have enough power to give an acceptable healing to the community participants.
I am so excited to say that I have already created my own community!
It will be about personal development through bringing alternative knowledge and financial awareness to people, making them understand and unleash the opportunities they surely have.
Here is the link to it!

Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us. Creating a community on Ecency shouldn't be a problem any longer🤗
Quiero integrarme a la comunidad
How can I change the community name? My community now doesn't show its name, but its username "@hive-number", although I did the same as advised from this post. The help chat is not currently working too 😰
Could you please write us your community account so we can check blockchain explorer?
Thanks, the community username is @hive-136316. I can’t see its name like the photo attached.
When community account is created usually some extra actions are performed to mark it as community account. Now it is not fully community account yet.
You have password for @hive-136316 account, right?
Please sign these 2 transactions one after another, this will make community properly registered and then you can modify name and descriptions.

Thanks, I don't have the password for @hive-136316, so I have created another new community (@hive-186485) and sign in the two given links. But still, the page doesn't look like other normal communities. Is there anything I need to set on the Hivesigner page?
No above links were specific for hive-136316 account.
How did you create hive-186485?
with hive-186485, try these 2 links:

We will fix these bugs, looks like community creation page has one bug...
All look great now! Thank you so much!! Let me confirm just one thing, so creating a community shouldn't need to go through the two links, right? That's the bug? Or is it normal to register manually in the links by the community creator?
