I don't think you need permission, but if you're considering whether or not the time investment in handling a community is worth it I say try it for a while and see.

MODERATORS
Maybe. I’ve already got a bunch of pretty quiet communities to moderate. I wanted to just see if anyone else is dorky and into labels like me, first.
Dude i love my labelmaker please yes!!!!!!
I’m thinking of starting out in that imadethis community, since I’m already in it, and it’s a nice group, and I doubt there are many of us dorky label people out there. I like to make fun labels for my prescriptions, kitchen spices, etc. working on one now in fact. Will post when I’m done. It’s kicking my butt a little bit, so I’m taking a break.
You could also post in existing communities, since the user base is smaller here
!imadethis@lemmy.zip and similar communities?
Probably going to start here. I like this idea, thanks.
I'd potentially be interested.
What label maker do you use and do you know what label format?
I don't have one, but I want one. Do you recommended one?
On paper, the best one is the Brother P-Touch Cube. And there are a wide variety of different colored 3rd party label tapes available to avoid paying the brother tape markup. And it does varying widths of tape up just under 1”. The iOS app for label making that it works with is trash. The Mac app is pretty bad, but after a good amount of practice, I am getting pretty good with it, and am discovering new things often. I hear the windows app is pretty great, but I haven’t tried it, nor the android app.
Thank you. I researched it a little and it seems to work with Linux so it might be worth it for me. It looks really cool.
It works with Linux?!?! Sounds like I need to do some investigation myself.
Unofficially, I found someone's github project that claims to support it. If you try it do let me know.
