I’m new to Lemmy, your typical Reddit refugee, and I’m missing some of the more niche subs I followed. I would like to start one or two of those here, but I’m a bit intimidated.

As I understand it, if I start a community I’m also the moderator. What kind of work does that entail?

Can I only create a community on the instance I joined, or can I also create a community elsewhere?

Is there a guide for creating new communities out there, especially for people who don’t know much about the technical side of Lemmy?

Thanks!

    Also, the moderation load can be shared wherever you want, even with people on other instances If I understand correctly.
