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.

    I’m still a little new but from what I’ve seen

    1. To make it I do believe you have to be logged into that instance. Though I think you can have the admins make you one and then give you mod powers over it if you are not part of that instance. Like say you wanted to make a community here at yiffit, I know the admin will make you one if you message him and then you will be given mod powers of it.
    2. Sorry, not part of pawb so I’m not sure
    3. Again not from here but yiffit.net is mostly a nsfw furry instance.
