I’m registered on sh.itjust.works, which is a general purpose EN/FR language instance. I’m currently learning German as a second language and I would like to create a community for speakers of German as a second language. It seems to me that as a primarily DE language instance, feddit.de would be the most appropriate instance for such a community.

Is there a way of creating community on a different instance than the instance on which I’m registered, or would I need to, say, register to the other instance, create a community, then add moderator privileges to my main account?

    I think things like this are probably subject to each instance, so one might let you and a different one may not.

    I may be wrong.

    It is a server side setting that each instance owner sets. I believe by default it is set to this.

    Only admins can create communities

    I think it wouldn’t hurt to direct message the owner/admin of your instance to ask if they would set up a community for you.

      Thanks for the info. I also hadn’t considered just messaging the owner.
