Unfortunately there is currently no way for an account on one Lemmy instance to create a community on another instance, but if it already exists, go post some content!
Most of the more "general" instances allow users to create their own communities, so there are lots of mostly empty ones floating around waiting for users. You're a user!
Sweet, cheers for those links
Does one have to sign up on all those forums individually or is there a single sign on arrangement?
Lemmy is federated. Check out the video in the pinned FAQ post for a bit of an overview.
But the long story short is that you access those communities through lemmy.nz, and people on those communities can access our communities through their own site.
Unfortunately it can be a bit convoluted at the moment. Lemmy is young and not well polished. Probably the easiest way is to click the link to go to a community (which will be a link to their website), then copy the URL into the search on lemmy.nz
If you're having trouble, you won't be alone, but you can ask on [email protected] for help. Or just reply to me, I'm happy to help, but might take a little longer to respond.
