Creating communities as a noob (lemmy.world)

I was never a huge poster on Reddit and certainly never a mod so I don't have that level of experience. Should I try creating a community here on lemmy.world myself? Or should I stick to making suggestions and leave it to people with more experience?

If others seem to open to helping and seem valid, and you get overwhelmed, no reason to wait for Reddit users to grant mod powers.

Yeah, I guess it kinda depends on the size of the subreddit, there's quite a few small low participation ones that would be nice to see brought over to Lemmy, but like OP said, they have no experience of moderating or, like myself, aren't able to dedicate the amount of time needed to moderate a community once it starts to grow. I've already created two such communities that will in their infancy will pretty much be just mirrors of the relevant subreddit.
