Registering your Swedish non-profit with the authorities is required for many useful things (e.g. having a bank account), though technically not mandatory. There are several free services for querying the registry, e.g. https://www.allabolag.se/.

I wasn't able to find Libera Chat there, though it might simply be the case that the registration has not been finalized yet.

According to The Swedish Tax Agency there are no civil laws regulating exactly how to form a non-profit organization. But it’s customary to create a ”decree” (stadgar) that declares such things as location (”säte“), purpose, rules for how to operate the organization, rules for how to elect the board of directors, etc. Not sure if they have done any of those things.

If the organization hasen’t created a decree and elected a board, then it will not count as juridical person.
