I believe I have looked everywhere but I just can't seem to find the option.

User community creation is an admin setting for each particular instance. It's disabled on lemmy.ml and that's why you're not seeing the option. You need to sign in to an instance that has user created communities enabled. My login instance does allow user created communities.

You gotta be registered on an instance that allows users to create them, I think Lemmy.world does. Alternatively can ask the admins at your instance (or another one) to make one for you and they might.

I believe Lemmy.ml currently has community creation disabled to encourage people to create communities on other servers.

There's requests@lemmit.online. It appears a bot then starts the community.
