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?

      The long answer is that you need a local alt to open the community, and if you then try to use the remote account to mod you will get issues.

      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

      Ehm. I’m not. I asked where the majority lays, spoke with feddit.org admins and opened a local account just in case that I need to step up.

      But thanks for the misinterpretation and spreading false infos.

      Edit: shame, shame, shame… I misunderstood @[email protected] like the monkey I am.

        I meant that the person I replied to was adamant to get you to close that community. And they are very much against non-local mods, without presenting any reasons. Außerdem bin ich im Matrix channel.

            Nah, also butchered the wording. Two words more and my intention would’ve been clear, but I was too lazy.

            I’m actually in favor of keeping the community, because that’s just another part of decentralization. And I’ve never even noticed the other community, and likely would’ve not bothered to search for a replacement, had it just been closed.

            Du schaffst das btw :3

              Just edited my post.

              feddit.org is a nice community. Never had so much interaction on other servers. Basically I had a great first day at school.

                I wonder, aren’t you on lemmy for ~2 years already? Or do you mean the conversations in the matrix channel?

                  My lemmy interaction was quite limited up until today.

                  Some time ago, when the first reddit migration happend, I took over a stale community. It faded and there was nothing to moderate, write or comment. Also most communities I’m subscribed to, do not produced so much relevant content. I fell back to reddit.

                    Ah, okay. I was lucky that my reddit account got banned anyway, so … there’s no temptation to go back anyway (and the UI is horrible, and the old client I used (Infinity) had a lemmy fork (Eternity) after a few days after the API stuff).

                    So yeah, welcome I guess :3

            I was referring to this specific post, where you did not provide reasons at first. I do understand (and know) that non-local modding is buggy, but just “No” doesn’t help much, especially for people who don’t know.
