First of all the r/ doesn’t apply here (okay, I’m being pedantic, sorry), but if I understood correctly what you’re asking, you can see any community from all instances. Each instance can also create a community of the same name (so in that case they wouldn’t be shared) but you can access !community@instance everywhere and it’s the same for all
Can regular pepole create these communities or is it locked to admins or specific people?
I just came from the Reddit exodus so I am still understanding how this works
Depends on the policy of the instance where you are creating the account, for example, beehaw doesn't allow for creation of new communities but lemmy.ml does
so on beehaw, how would I go about creating one? Requesting somewhere?
beehaw has a strict policy on new communities, but you could create a new account on a another instance like sopuli.xyz and the create a new community there, then you can add your account on beehaw as a moderator
Would "c/NFL" be the equivalent or is it "!NFL"?
I see both being used.
I know that you use !NFL or [email protected] [email protected] to search and/or link
The link contains the c/nfl part but I don’t know if using c/nfl does anything
I’m pretty new 🥲
