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?

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