I'm new to here and really enjoying it so far. I came here because I'm tired of what reddit has became it's a very dangerous place over there and they should be investigated.

I was curious. I've been a Linux admin for a while and I loved some of the communities on reddit. I'm really good with admin work and watching over communities and servers and wanted to know when I'd be able to create my own community?

I'd love to see a piercing community here where people can talk piercings and ask for advice.

Thank you for making this place awesome so far! I'm also working on my own application

I believe in free speech and open sourced software and I believe in internet security and privacy and always try to inform people on how to stay safe online.

Currently working on my own app similar to this called Freddit meaning ( F*** reddit) πŸ˜†

Hey, so you're able to set up a community any time you like. Remember that lemmy is decentralized. Have you considered creating your community on lemmy.tf or another instance? No matter what instance anyone is on, they'll be able to access your community. Alternatively, you can create your own instance and host your communities there.

What do you mean β€œwhen”? You can create a community on an existing instance right now, or you can run your own instance if you want! Just check out the docs.
