Can I start a new community as a member
Is there any way a member can start a new 7cups community, or ask 7cups to start one?

Hello! I'm assuming you mean a sub-community concerning specific topic(s). Here's a post regarding the same - click me.
Tagging @7CupsCommunity
@inthequeue Yes, there is. The current process is described here: How to Create a Problem Solving Ecosystem on 7 Cups.
You do need to become a listener first, if you want to to follow the entire process. But it seems to me you could delegate some of the work to listeners within your new community and in that way avoid becoming a listener yourself. I'm not sure why you'd want to avoid becoming a listener, though.
Note that the post describing the current process has not been followed up, and it's possible it never will be. Initiatives like this at 7 Cups are often announced then quietly dropped.
Also note that there was an older process a couple of years ago, according to a post by @Jill7Cups. She (and others) left 7 Cups in November 2019, and it's unclear what the status of that older process might be.
