      Good idea, but I tried it and it didn’t work either.

    I don’t have an account there but my guess is that “create” link in the top right

      No, the interface is different from popular instances of Lemmy.

        For reference you can get the default lemmy experience at https://l.lemdro.id/

        However, Lemmy allows admins to disable the ability to create communities. It looks like they have used this option.

        You could always create a community somewhere that does allow it by signing up for a new account there, then appoint your original account as moderator. You should be able to continue from there as if it was on your own instance.

          Thank you, I tried on Lemmy.ml but my request was rejected. I will try again on another instance.

            Lemmy.sdf is great for niche posting

            You could use lemmy.world. They allow creating communities and if you follow the instructions your account will be auto-approved instantly.

            Another is https://sh.itjust.works/ which is another general audience instance that allows creating communities.

              All right, I’ll give it a go.

                https://lemmy.zip/ and https://piefed.zip/ are also good options

    if it’s disabled on your instance, maybe try contacting the instance admins
