Hi! I was wondering if there is a limit of communities I can create, I have created 3, wanted to create want more but I am unable to do so. And If someone is wondering yes, I read the start guide and the 3 communities I have created didn't exist before, well one already exists but it has been inactive for 2 years, so I decided to go ahead anyway!

There’s no limit on .world, but I’d be cautious. There are so many empty communities that it might be better to acquire one than making a bunch of new ones.

Edit: you created 3 and want to make another… but you’ve only ever been active on 1 community? Slow down, cowboy. Make some posts on the others

Is there a way to acquire inactive communities? I was not aware of that, or when you mean "acquire" it's like create content on those communities? Because for the bouldering one yes, there is already a community but last time it was active was 2 years ago. And for the cybersecurity ones, I just created them because I am trying to make the transition from Reddit to Lemmy, and these two are quite important to me, though indeed the Reddit communities are already well established, I created them but they are empty, Idk I need to rethink it a little. I think I am doing things wrong

Put in a request in this community or message the admins. I believe details are either in the sidebar here or lemmy.world’s main page
