I’m new to Lemmy and decided to join this instance as /r/programming was one of the big reasons I joined reddit in the first place. Excited to be here, but I have a question on how do you create new communities? In some other instances I see that there is a button at the top called “Create communities” is it because my account isn’t fully validated yet? Do I need my email assigned first?
Welcome! Currently we have community creation locked and new communities are taken from a request thread in here. (You can find the post using this link https://programming.dev/post/5189).
Just post what community you want in there and if its deemed to fit the instance and if enough people want it then it will get created
👍 thanks
