I am looking to create a new community but am not able to figure out how.
This makes me understand the location of that option is not clear! 😓 Currently you can find that option in the “Manage subscriptions” page, but community creation must be enabled to regular users in your instance (if you are on lemmy.world then don’t worry it is possible, other instances restrict it to admins only).
There has been some discussion about where to put that option, and I wanted to use the “right side menu” in Profile btw.
I think that depends on version too. In 1.11.2 it is not yet.
Ah, right, it’s only in pre-release for now! Next week I’ll release 1.12.
I was looking for it in this sequence: Create reply -> Create post -> Create community.
I did not even think that creating community could be admin level. Anyway I am on Lemmy World so it will not be an issue for me. Thank you.
Location of it could be in the right menu for Profile as you said.
And this is giving me another thought. Is it a good flow if the locations are based on flow of information eg. Voting on a post, Replying to a post, creating a post, creating a community are all information outflow activities. Subscribing to a community, adding an instance are all information inflow activities.
Where should this inflow/outflow sorting be applied?
It was just a thought for organising menu options. On second thoughts I realise it was not much.
Only thing I can think of right now is that creating communities and also adding instances should be more easily findable.
