com.getorbyt.community.checkName

reason

string

Why the name is unavailable. Absent when available. `recently-released` is a name a Community gave up by renaming or being deleted: links shared under it still resolve there, so it is held for a cooldown before anyone else may take it.

    query

    Whether an address under this host's domain is free for a new group: no account's handle here, nor kept by a group as its address after it took a handle of its own. Anyone may ask, as anyone may resolve a handle.
