Well, on Beehaw you cannot create new communities, but you certainly can be made a mod of one even from another instance. Find the ones you want and ask the current mods of it.
The tl;dr is that having many communities make it difficult to govern and ensure a safe space exists for the overall community and having too many can result in highly fragmented discussions that would be a challenge to grow and nurture.
It’s not that we don’t permit new communities, but more towards we moderate their creation based off the communities interests.
I am a Reddit mod. Gimme the step-by-step tutorial! There are certain subs that I want to see reproduced ASAP, like /r/LifeProTips and more!

Just wanted to add that not all instances are allowing new community creation, including Beehaw.

Well, that is an interesting script. I wonder how many will come across? Maybe they will pull the top 20% or something.

Why can’t we create communities on here? Do the Beehaw admins specifically restrict this? Thanks, by the way.

Maybe pick an existing one and help it get off the ground:
If you’re interested, I’d recommend posting in the older one, then requesting it on !community_requests@lemmy.ml
But we’re now splitting away from lemmy.world, right? Or how does this federation stuff work?
