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.

1. Is there accepted etiquette around who creates a community or when?
2. How general-interest should communities on midwest.social remain?
3. 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!
