On the default frontend there is a button on the home page:

~~https://lemmy.ml/create_community~~

EDIT: Some instances have restricted community creation. It works on lemm.ee (if you are logged in): https://lemm.ee/create_community

Fyi, there is a typo in your link.

Also, isn’t creation community restricted on Lemmy.ml?

why is that and how does one make a community here

Blaze@discuss.tchncs.de · 2 years ago

The lemmy.ml admins decided to restrict community creation there.

You can open communities on other instances such as lemm.ee

Thanks, I copied lemm.ee link and didn’t realize the missing y.

Also, isn’t creation community restricted on Lemmy.ml?

That explains why OP couldn’t find how to create one. Thanks again!
