Community creation questions (midwest.social)

The option to create a community is right up on top of my screen. That implies to me that it's a thing any of us can just do. I'm new here, though, and I don't wanna make a faux pas or whatever. I have questions.

Is there accepted etiquette around who creates a community or when?
How general-interest should communities on midwest.social remain?
Might creating more communities right now exacerbate the high CPU usage problems in any way?

It's probably actually impressive how little I know about subreddit moderation, to say nothing of Lemmy community moderation. I just don't want to incessantly ask things of a small number of people during an anomalous influx of instance traffic that's probably already demanding enough.

Which... I guess is what this post is. Woof. Sorry. Just wanna be a good citizen!

Well then I hope you people like making fun of and embracing the insanity of stupid houses. Any reason not to simply cop the name of the subreddit I'd be ripping off?

I'm a fan, but that one's kinda bust. All the fun shit is happening at zillowgonewild. It's the name that gives me pause.
