lemmy.ml disabled new community creations. You need to join a different instance that has community creation enabled.
any plans on reopening soon?
You can ask one of the lemmy.ml admins.
Ah, I was wondering why I couldn’t find how. Makes sense now. Thanks for sharing!
You can think of instance and server as the same thing. An instance of lemmy runs on a server.
You don’t have to run an instance to create a community (sub), but I believe some instances limit who can create communities.
If you run your own instance, you could do whatever you please with it. When you create a community on it, other federated instances can browse to it via community@instance.domain
Here are the instructions for hosting your own instance
