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.
Yea there is a weird “de-sync” issue with appointing a mod [User B] from lemmy to community created by piefed then the mod can ban the original community creator [User A] but that only applies to User B’s instance, so now anyone on User B’s instance sees a different version of the community compared to everyone else. And anything User A does from that point will never federate to User B’s instance’s version of the same community. So you’d need to end up contacting the admins to intervene to resolve this “power struggle”.
