Not entirely sure if this is the right place to ask this, but I figured it was the closest fit.

I’ve been thinking about creating one or possibly a few communities, mostly due to missing some that were on Reddit. Before creating any, I wanted to be sure of a few things:

  1. Do communities have to be created on the instance one logs in to (ie, does the fact my lemmy account is from pawb mean that communities I make have to be made here?) I kinda assume it would since going to another instance’s page loads their site, which I obviously am not logged into, but given my second question I feel like I should ask if there’s a way to make one elsewhere.
  2. Given pawb is a furry instance, do communities made here have to be furry related, or could one make, say, a community for some specific game for example that isn’t explicitly a furry game?
  3. Would creating a fetish-related community for one that is popular with some furries be allowable, or should I go to a different instance for such things? I noticed one or two on pawb already but I was unsure if they got any special permission to be created or not.

    • I think you do need to be on that instance to create a community there, but you can have mods from other instances
    • They don’t have to be related to furries, it’s just that the instance is primarily based around furries and so furry communities (or furry-ish communities) are prioritized. As far as I know, communities on pawb can be created without explicit permission from admins. I would imagine that yiffit has to be a bit more careful due to its implied nsfw nature
    • fetish-related communities are acceptable on both pawb and yiffit, but yiffit is more oriented that direction by default.
