II am not sure,I am not going to lie I am new to Hexbear, I am from the 'grad but got told if I want to see some dunks to come over here, so I am not sure what the community making rules are. I also did not bring that up because I am completely aganst that style of doing things, if that is how the instance is run that is how it is run. I just find it even more insufferable that they call themselves a "community of individuals" while giving the individuals no real agency within the instance.
Welcome, that is indeed the rule here. It's not really firm, but I think admins put a pause on comm creation a while back till we switch over to mainline Lemmy.
Yeah, I would have handled it differently, myself.
IMO, I think instances should be pretty monolithic, like ours, and treat "communities" as post categories or interests. That's kinda how we treat things now with the comms that actually get used.
Maybe there's a place for the Reddit model where a subreddit is a community in and of itself without any further subdivision.

I know part of it is that we just ended up with a bunch of pretty dead comms

Yes, but originally it was not. Iirc they changed it because there were stability issues with the site
We're also forked, tbf
