About Creating Communities - Lemmy.world

So, you can just create one? No need to ask anybody for permission? I ask because I understand that each instance belongs to someone, and I’d be worried to create a community on someone else’s… whatever an instance is, server space?

I think each instance will have rules on what kind of communities will be allowed and which kind wont be allowed

On most instances, yes! The instance owner provides server space for the community. When I was comparing instances, there were some that did not allow users to create their own communities so it looks that’s something the owner can choose to enable/disable. But no need to ask for permission if it’s enabled. I can’t find it now but one of the instances just posted a no porn rule on theirs. So you can always check your local feed to look for any relevant rules.

From what I've looked at so far, every instance I've checked has a NSFW ban, except for one instance that is specifically for NSFW communities. I think that's a great way to separate that kind of content from normal content personally
