I have looked and I see people make their own instance of lemmy

But how would I create a community on lemmy.world?

Say I wanted to make a community for a certain game discussion

Pro-tip: if you are trying to figure out if a website has a feature, try the default web interface first.

Do it, then. There's CREATE COMMUNITY button above your thread.

TFW you realize not everybody accesses lemmy the same way

[–] BadAtBaduk 8 points 1 year ago (6 children)

Hmm. Are these visible on apps such as liftoff and sync do you know?

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You might have to do it on the website, it's not a feature people use that often

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

I don't know of any app that lets you do community management yet.

[–] arudesalad 3 points 1 year ago

Not on sync yet. But if you goto lemmy.world in your browser and login in, you will have the option to create a community. It's even easier to see the option if you switch to desktop mode.

You have a plus at the bottom of the screen

[–] BadAtBaduk 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That let's me choose a community to post to

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Oh yeah sorry I got confused

[–] jesterraiin 1 points 1 year ago

No clue, never used an app to browse such sites.

Still, I don't see why they shouldn't be visible, if you browse same site/same content on the app.

[–] jerrimu 1 points 1 year ago

They sure are. I've made one. It's just like creating a subreddit.

[–] Choco617 10 points 1 year ago

Yep you can, but it probably has to be through the web interface instead of an app. I created [email protected] myself a few weeks ago, there were no restrictions. It’s literally just the button, then you go through a setup wizard.

[–] DougHolland 10 points 1 year ago

Depends on the instance. Here on Lemmy.World, it's allowed and encouraged, but on some instances they don't want the traffic and storage.

[–] FartsWithAnAccent 7 points 1 year ago

On most instances, yes, you can create your own on the web interface. Some instances may have community creation disabled though.

Some instances don't allow it, lemmy.world does. Probably not doable in the apps yet so do it in-browser.

[–] xc2215x 1 points 1 year ago

Yes you can.
