when creating a new community, what's the difference between the name, and display name? (lemmy.world)

Does the name need to be like the URL, or just what you wanna call the community? There's a little help icon next to the text box, but tapping it doesn't seem to make any help text show up.

Thanks for the help!

Not using Lemmy myself, but I assume this is about the name in the url vs the name in the UI. Displayname is probably how Lemmy itself displays the community, but name is what's in the URL and in the fediverse handle.
