Can't create community on my own instance (cake.kobel.fyi)

Hi. I've set up a new single-user instance for myself today and I'm trying to create a local community.

I'm getting this error:

"You are not able to do this action due to being a very new account or because of a low reputation."

Can I somehow get around this limitation?

Do you have a problem with the admin account?

Good shout. I had to switch the role for my account from user to admin through the admin panel. Now I'm able to create communities.

But I wonder why the role of my admin account was "user" in the first place.

Glad it was solved. Maybe it was an issue ? @rimu@piefed.social @wjs018@piefed.social

Maybe it's got something to do with the YunoHost ldap auth for the first logged in user.
