For example, let’s say I wanted to start a community around some topic, but I felt that lemmy.dbzer0.com was better suited for it than slrpnk.net. But I want to keep my account on slrpnk.net as the account that moderates the community. Is that possible?
You can moderate communities on other instances, but you can’t create one yourself.
Grabbed a screenshot of the mod list of [email protected], for example, which shows a few different instances represented within the mod team.
Afaik reports are not federated yet, so mods from other instances won’t get report notifications, but otherwise the same tools are available for them. So possible, but limited.
You also can’t add mods using a remote account: https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/38312525/16893470
Editing the community sidebar doesn’t work: https://lemm.ee/post/53298142/17673948
You can’t also update the banner and the avatar: https://lemm.ee/post/53298142/17674272
Post pinning is also pretty wonky.
