Creating new communities on Lemmy.ca (lemmy.ca)

Hello all! I am new to Lemmy.ca and really new to this whole concept. I was poking around the community list and thought of a couple that I would have liked to see (Canada related). Is there a procedure specifically for creating new communities here, or do I just go ahead if I'm sure it doesn't exist? I don't want to step on any toes.

Welcome to our community!

Definitely go ahead and create them, but you'll have to bear the work of bootstrapping those communities until they pick up

If you space your posts and post frequently I'm sure they'll catch on with the default "active" sorting algorithm. You only need a few active members before they show up in the local feed.
