It's worth noting that !tf2@lemmy.ml already exists. You might be better off seeing if they'll give it to you at !community_requests@lemmy.ml.
Lemmy
Everything about Lemmy; bugs, gripes, praises, and advocacy.
For discussion about the lemmy.ml instance, go to !meta@lemmy.ml.
Okay, thanks!
You could make an account there, create the community yourself and make your other account mod.
I don't know about requesting. Maybe someone with an account could create the community and mod you.
Question as someone new to Lemmy:
Is it not possible to create it on your current instance? Do some instances not allow community creation / have higher requirements for it?

Right, some instances like lemmy.one (which OP is on) and beehaw.org restrict local community creation to admins only: https://lemmy.one/post/41 https://beehaw.org/post/413919
Can you create communities in remote instances?
