Thank you for the explanation, I still have a lot to learn it seems. I should dig deeper on how to set up a public community (it’s free to do so, right?), there’s a few I’d like to start. Hopefully difficulty level is low, haha.
Creating a community is pretty easy and free. Lemmy.world allows users to do so on their instance. The hardest thing with communities is keeping them alive and removing unfitting posts. (Side note: Moderating communities isnt well-federated, it’s a bug. You should have and use an account on the same instance as your community)
Creating an instance, while not impossible, requires you to have your own server. Wether this be a paid Vserver/VPS you pay monthly for, or an always-running pc. It also requires quite a bit of knowledge about using said server correctly and securely
First look into a good instance for hosting a community. Some allow anybody to create communities, some don’t. Some also have server side spam filters ready.

You can try advertising your new community somewhere such as !newcommunities@lemmy.world
