Go for it :)
The other option would be to take over the existing community, which can be helpful if a lot of people are subscribed already. That way you don't have to build it up from scratch. You would contact the admins of the instance that it's on, and they'll make you a mod.
If the other one has a low subscriber count, then there's no downside to just making it again
Out of curiosity, which community is it?
FYI that's normal behavior.

So you're on lemmy.ca. But lemmy.ca does not know every single community that is made anywhere in the fediverse, because the creation of a new community is not automatically broadcast.If a user on lemmy.ca accesses the new community, THEN all of a sudden lemmy.ca knows about it. But it doesn't download all the old posts, it only gets the posts that are made after lemmy.ca found out about it.
So probably 5 months ago someone made the most recent post on yoga@lemmy.world, then a couple months after that someone on lemmy.ca heard about it and subscribed. But nobody posted anything to yoga@lemmy.world since then, so lemmy.ca's view of yoga@lemmy.world has nothing on it.
(edit: I take it back, in some cases lemmy does get the old posts... i think it might have something to do with the lemmy versions involved.)
!yoga@lemmy.world is the correct way to link to the community.
Yea I would just make it again for that one. There are ~180 subscribers but I think you can make that up with some care and attention with the new community :)
Feel free to promote it on !communitypromo@lemmy.ca and !newcommunities@lemmy.world once you make it!
