At the moment, only admins can create new communities. I made it so because I wanted to avoid having communick members who are not well-aware about how the fediverse works and end up creating communities that duplicate others who are already available on other servers. For those cases, it will be better if we join the remote instances instead of fragmenting the conversation among different places.
With that said, is there any topic/theme/interest/hobby you have but haven’t found a place yet on the threadiverse? Is there some niche subreddit you participate but would like to migrate to Lemmy?
I’d really love a c/lisp community. What do you say?
There is !lisp@programming.dev already, but it doesn’t seem so active. Would you rather see if we can help there or start a new one here?
We could have one here and help to make it active. Since we are trying to make c/emacs active here, we could try the same thing for c/lisp.
Ok, done. !lisp@communick.news is created! Are you interested in being a mod as well?
Thanks! Yes, I’m happy to be a mod and do mod duties like remove spam (if any).
Ok, great! Due to a quirk in the UI, you need to write a post or comment in the community for me to add you as mod. Don’t feel pressured into it though. If you ever change your mind about it, you can always remove yourself.

Thanks again!
