It appears to only apply to my server, but it’s strange I can change stuff in a community that I don’t own. I spun up a PieFed server, federated with lemmy shitpost, and I can supposedly change members and mods.

The description seems to only apply to my instance, but I still find it weird you can view and “change” members.

    That’s odd. Also pixelfed lets you ban users who don’t even use your site too, which is even weirder.

      Why would that be weird? I assume that’s about banning federated posts from them, which makes perfect sense imo.

        Maybe settings to delete stuff you don’t want, or ban whatever federated stuff, but transferring ownership settings is a bit odd to me. Lemmy is a bit more clear on what you can truly do. You can block communities, delete posts, purge, ban, whatever. It does not allow you to edit communities directly unlike PieFed which is kinda interesting.

      Oh dont take me at my word though. Staff have accounts on @piefed.social if you want someone with actual knowledge and not from someone who has been to the codeberg once.
