Personal blog communities on programming.dev? (self.meta)

How do admins feel about users requesting (or creating) communities on here for blogging purposes? For example /c/online persona or /c/online persona sibling or something similar.

I saw somebody talking about how they started doing that on another server and simply linking to it on reddit to get traction in the fediverse. It seems like a great idea to me. Blogs are shared quite often and them being on Lemmy allows for new entries to simply show up in the local feed. They can be easily crossposted and commented on in Lemmy and across the fediverse if I'm not mistaken.

The only problem I could see is are naming conflicts. For example if somebody reads this and immediately creates /c/onlinepersona to block me from creating that to force a report to the admins. Or the reverse, a user creating the name "programming-guides" to then claim a community with the same name.

Thoughts?
