Yes, you can make a community and then set it to be mod only posting. Then because you are the only mod it is your personal community.
Edit: Totally fine thing to do here. Anyone who doesn't want to see it would not subscribe or block it if they were particularly peeved.
The lemmy docs even mention this as a way of using lemmy like a blog. Even suggesting creating a custom blog-like front end using the api.
Could you Lemmy some wisdom? Is there a way to only show post from communities I'm subscribed to?
I'm using an android app called lift off, but if there's another option I'd probably switch.
In your account settings you can set the default home view to "subscribed". Even without doing that "subscribed" should be one of the sort options on the home view of any Lemmy app.
Thanks I ended up switching to jerboa and found it right away.
The pulldown at the top, change it to Subscribed under the instance your account is on. You can change settings so it goes there automatically too.
Although you can make a personal Lemmy community as others have mentioned, I feel like Mastodon or Kbin might be better designed for that use-case?
What you're describing is mastodon. Come hang with us!
Kbin comes with a micro blog feature. A cool thing with the fediverse is that you could use Kbin to browse Lemmy (both are clone of that R social network)

Interesting idea. I did that on a Discord server that I set up...never occurred to me to do something similar on other platforms.
!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.
