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

[–] Choco617@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

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

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

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

Yes you can.
