Why can't we create communities on here? Do the Beehaw admins specifically restrict this? Thanks, by the way.

    We've outlined the rationale in this thread: https://beehaw.org/post/140733

    The tl;dr is that having many communities make it difficult to govern and ensure a safe space exists for the overall community and having too many can result in highly fragmented discussions that would be a challenge to grow and nurture.

    It's not that we don't permit new communities, but more towards we moderate their creation based off the communities interests.
