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?

That's part of limitation for first account created on piefed to prevent spam and bots. According to the wiki, you just have to wait 24h.

Users with the admin role should be exempt from this restriction. @squirrel@cake.kobel.fyi
