Create a community on another server? - Coffee

Let’s say I joined through an English-only instance but want to start a community in German, which would ideally be over on feddit. Is that possible, or do I need to create a local login over there and then add my off-site account as moderator?

That's pretty much the only way. Which is a good thing, otherwise, everyone would make their communities on lemmy.ml, and we'd have centralisation entrenched in to the whole thing

Got it, thanks! The question came up since I'm registered with a single-purpose instance (as far as local communities are concerned) and since we don't have a clue whether we maintain it in the long run, I just don't feel like migrating some of my larger reddit communities over.
