I am looking for a crossdressing selfie community on lemmy but I don't want to make one myself because I am not good at moderation? Can I request one on this community to find people who may be interested in participating in or moderating of such a community? Or is this only for people who already made a community and intend to moderate it?
I haven't seen a community for requesting others to create communities, unless I have missed it. The original purpose of this community is to find discover and promote new communities, and is still the main purpose, but requesting a community is okay, even if it isn't the main purpose. For example, there was a post recently asking for alternative communities for venting/psychological help and there was some suggestions, and while that wasn't a post for promotion of new communities, it wasn't taken down, since it was related to new communities. I would say just to request it and maybe ask if one is already created, and one might be hosted on a different instance that you don't know about yet
