I originally joined beehaw as I like their general philosophy, but it's why I ultimately chose a different instance as my main one. Not allowing users to create their own communities is a pretty big hindrance to growth and being able to develop niche communities. Reddit really excelled at this.
And to a degree, I do get why beehaw doesn't want anyone to just make any random community. Ultimately it's just a bit too limiting for my personal taste. The communities they do have seem pretty cool though!
