How can I create or start my own community on here

When I first came here to Voyager, I was hoping it would have at least some of or at least similar communities as when I was on reddit.
But I was sadly mistaken. All the communities I was hoping to find are either dead or nonexistent all together.
So I thought maybe I could start my own. But I don't see how I can do it. I'd appreciate the help
Rule 5. Locking.
According to a two year old post Voyager can't create Communities. You can get around this by visiting your instance (lemmy.world) and logging in via a web browser.
Well darn.
Can I at least use my Voyager login to do this?
Not to be pedantic, but that would be your lemmy.world login. Voyager is simply an app to interact with lemmy. For instance i use the Boost app to access Piefed. You can login by visiting lemmy.world from your preferred browser.
Once you've created the community you want, you can share it at !newcommunities@lemmy.world (among other places). Welcome to the threadiverse!
Yes.
After you create the communities, take a look at !fedigrow@lemmy.zip for ideas and help on how to "grow" them. Especially there's a weekly thread that you might find helpful.
