I don't think you can on Beehaw.org. All communities on your instance need to be created by an admin.
Probably a good thing overall, considering the thousands of dead subs that are going to be all over the place come Monday.
There is good in allowing ordinary users to create subreddits, though. I don't think /r/trees and /r/marijuanaenthusiasts would have happened if only admins could create subreddits.
I think the corollary in lemmy world is, if your instance admin won't support your needs, then you simply start your own instance that you can run as you see fit.
a little more work and learning curve involved, but much more resilient in the long run
