Hi! I was wondering if there is a limit of communities I can create, I have created 3, wanted to create want more but I am unable to do so. And If someone is wondering yes, I read the start guide and the 3 communities I have created didn’t exist before, well one already exists but it has been inactive for 2 years, so I decided to go ahead anyway!
I don’t believe there’s a limit. My instance certainly doesn’t have one. It’s there a void and you feel like you’ll have a reasonable amount of content to share over time then why not? I’ve probably made close to ten. Everyone’s always saying we need more niche content.
Only potential pushback would be that too much of the fediverse is consolidated on lemmy.world as it is and new communities may be fit by being spread out on other instances.
But overall more is always better regardless.

There’s no limit on .world, but I’d be cautious. There are so many empty communities that it might be better to acquire one than making a bunch of new ones.

Those communities are going to be requested on !support@lemmy.world in a few weeks

Is there a way to acquire inactive communities? I was not aware of that, or when you mean “acquire” it’s like create content on those communities? Because for the bouldering one yes, there is already a community but last time it was active was 2 years ago. And for the cybersecurity ones, I just created them because I am trying to make the transition from Reddit to Lemmy, and these two are quite important to me, though indeed the Reddit communities are already well established, I created them but they are empty, Idk I need to rethink it a little. I think I am doing things wrong

Put in a request in this community or message the admins. I believe details are either in the sidebar here or lemmy.world’s main page
