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
