I noticed that this instance seems to have community creation locked to admin users, though nothing in the rules / sidebar mentions this.
Would you be open to allowing users to create their own communities here in the future? Perhaps once there are some more active users to avoid diluting the communities we already have?
I’m very new to the fediverse and lemmy, so please let me know if this isn’t something that would be feasible for this instance.
To see an example of why I’ve opted to not allow everyone to create communities… take a look at what is happening over on lemmy.world
A small number of users have created a crazy number of communities. Page after page of communities with zero posts.
Wow, there’s really users creating “communities” for every brand name they can think of.
I guess they believe they can sell the mod rights once lemmy becomes the new reddit.
