• Well, on Beehaw you cannot create new communities, but you certainly can be made a mod of one even from another instance. Find the ones you want and ask the current mods of it.

        We’ve outlined the rationale in this thread: https://beehaw.org/post/140733

        The tl;dr is that having many communities make it difficult to govern and ensure a safe space exists for the overall community and having too many can result in highly fragmented discussions that would be a challenge to grow and nurture organically like we do in the physical world.

        It’s not that we don’t permit new communities, but more towards we moderate their creation based off the communities interests.
