If there's another place to find answers, do let me know. I went over the piefed feature page and did a couple searches already.

I came here from Lemmy to try out Piefed and make another community, but I get an error that my account is too new and/or I don't have a reputation.

Questions:

What does reputation or attitude mean? What do I need to have to make a community?

How old does my account have to be to make a community?

Why do I need to have an X account age to make a community?

Is there a way to separate upvotes and downvotes? If not, I don't like it. Just seeing a number doesn't tell me very much, especially about engagement. A -1 score could have 200 upvotes.

Why are the communist/socialist instances blocked by default and not like, maga? I see it's blocked by my instance anyway, but thought it was weird to block those three considering there are much worse instances. I already unblocked them, so I don't need help, I'm just wondering why.

Oh, and why can't I see the modlog?

Thank you all for your time.

It's (attitude) a measure of how you upvote. Or, rather, if you downvote, it will decrease. It re-adjusts over time and depending on your volume.

You're welcome. I asked the same question a bit back.
