lemmy.ml isn't currently letting people create communities on it, to encourage users to create communities on other instances and spread things out a bit.

But OP is from lemmy.world

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Ah crap. I saw the lemmy.ml of the Community they posted to and never looked at the user.

Makes sense. Any clue what instances i can use to create?

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

Most of them.

Make sure there is no community like the one you want to make through lemmyverse.net

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

There is usually a "Create a community" button on the top of the page.

Which ones do you plan to create? Did you have a look at https://lemmyverse.net/communities already?

I play drums so id like a metal drums category to start. I just dont see the "create a community" button. Which page is this button usually located on? Im on ios memmy app.

Maybe memmy does not support this functionality yet. In that case you have to login to the web interface. You can find it in the menu at the top on desktop and in the expanded menu on mobile.

Also, you will probably be removed due to rule 3

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

This is more of a support question, related to using Lemmy. Please see the sidebar for a list of communities that offer support. Removing under rule #3.
