Lemmy Support

I'm registered on sh.itjust.works, which is a general purpose EN/FR language instance. I'm currently learning German as a second language and I would like to create a community for speakers of German as a second language. It seems to me that as a primarily DE language instance, feddit.de would be the most appropriate instance for such a community.

Is there a way of creating community on a different instance than the instance on which I'm registered, or would I need to, say, register to the other instance, create a community, then add moderator privileges to my main account?
