MODERATORS
 

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 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

I have been able to do all of those things with remote accounts.

Interesting, the appointing a remote mod not working is a recent example.

In which community were you able to appoint a mod using a remote account?

Another example from today pinning a post doesn't work:

!bloomcounty@lemm.ee I appointed my .ee account after hearing that remote moderation did not work.

I have pinned and unpinned a post in !womenshockey@reddthat.com

I have added a community avatar to !womenshockey@reddthat.com and changed it within a week.

Interesting, then I don't know why it didn't work for @fxomt@lemmy.dbzer0.com earlier...

I might do some testing later this week if I have some time

I just added my .ee account to the mods of !pokemon@lemm.ee from my Sopuli account.
