Pretty new to Lemmy as a whole. So when trying to decide where to make an account, I ultimately settled on programing.dev as it's ab instance that aligns with my interest, but now that I'm getting a little more used to navigating I'm realizing a minor issue. See, obviously I'm a new convert from Reddit as many are, and I don't expect every subreddit to already be a Lemmy community, but I've realized that by picking an instance that is fairly focused in its scope, if I wanted to try and fill in a gap where a subreddit has not been recreated yet I either need to find a way to get it made by someone else or make additional accounts on other instances. So thusly I am curious, is the former an option? In this case I was hoping to make something along the lines of r/ImaginaryKnights, because fantasy knights and armor are pretty cool, but obviously that's not a programming thing. Any ideas or tips? Hopefully this is a good place to ask.

Yeah, but the instance my account is on (programming.dev) only the admin can create communities and the only communities being made on the instance are programming related communities, which makes sense. So the point I was curious about was if I wanted a non-programming community if there was any way for me to make it without making an account on a different instance.

Yup, like Elle said, you can request a community be made on another instance so you don't need to make a separate account
