It could be an optional feature.
By default, users and communities share the namespace so they can not have the same name. But if you as an admin want to let users and communities with the handle, then you need to add two CNAMEs that point to the same domain of the backend, and add these to lemmy.hjson, so that the backend can know how to generate actor ids.
