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.
