Now, how the hell do I set up a community? Do I have to go through admins?

You can edit titles?!? I’m not accustomed to such luxuries.
Yes, and you can also edit links and even both write and link something at once! The luxury!
I found the best way to find interesting stuff was to:
- Click on the Communities link at the top, scroll through and sub to anything that sounds interesting
- Change your view to “Subscribed” and “New”, then you’ll see interesting stuff from the communities you’ve subbed to. You can switch it up from “new” to “Most comments” or what ever sorting sounds helpful.
- To drink from the firehose, switch from Subscribed to “All” and filter by Active, or most comments, and TRY to open interesting stuff as it scrolls by. I’ve read that’s a bug and will be fixed (the scrolling super fast).
These things have helped me settle into using Lemmy.

I learned today that once you jump from your home configuration to any other different sorting option, the web address will change to something like blahblahbunchofstuff…page/1. Change the 1 to a 0 (zero) and reload the page, and it stops the mad scrolling.
I have not done it personally, but there is a link to the Create Community page in the menu (on mobile). Here’s the direct link for you: https://lemmy.world/create_community

Very top of the webpage is a Create Community button, hit that.
If you are on mobile, it’s in the hamburger menu.
