How are new communities created on Lemmy? (reddthat.com)

There absence of a few subreddits here in lemmy world are making my experience somewhat incomplete. I was really into r/noiserock on reddit and would like to help re-create that community. It does not seem as straight forward though. Am I only allowed to create communities on my instance? I guess, in general, how are new communities started?

Ok, thanks. My instance is reddthat.com (relatively small I believe) and I don't think I see a way to create a community. I will reach out to the instance admin and see if that is currently by design.

If I visit your instance I see the "create community" link at the top of the page as expected. Are you viewing it through an app maybe? They might not have added that feature yet and you might need to use the website.

I did not check the actual website. So that explains it. Thank you.
