The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

**No illegal or NSFW or gore content. **

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
:::spoiler Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

Then they can make a new sub and pointlessly use their own leg work.
The existing sub is right there. OP wants to walk away from it. There's absolutely no point to burning it to the ground and forcing someone else to do a bunch of work to recreate it, it's just petty.
I've had to deal with this sort of "if I can't have it nobody can" mentality in online communities before, helping rebuild the ruins of something that someone pointlessly destroyed on their way out the door, and it massively sucks. OP's just going to make everyone hate him.
Eh, I believe the creator of something can do whatever they want with their creation.
So if Linus Torvalds were to announce one day "I'm tired of Linux, time to burn it all down" that'd be fine? Someone else can just create a new operating system, after all.
The point here is that OP may have "created" the subreddit in the sense of clicking a few buttons and filling out some text fields, but at this point it's a community with 200,000 participants. Those participants also share in its ownership. Forcing them to jump through hoops recreating the whole thing just because OP's decided he wants a Viking funeral is selfish.
Yeah, I don't see why not, especially since others can just fork and continue development.
