I am signed in as an admin user of my instance. A different, non-admin user has created a community on my instance. I can’t edit this community’s details. If I create a post in this community, I can’t use the … menu to assign myself moderator of this community.

What do I need to do to give myself access to edit this community?

    What do you do if someone creates and abandones an important community on your instance? Leave it unmoderated?

    Remember: Each instance is it’s admin’s private property. Everyone on there (including moderators) are guests. An admin is totally in their right to remove troublesome moderators and these moderators are totally in their right to create their own instances.

    Think of instances like connected online forums. Whoever owns the forum has the right to do whatever they like, including removing mods or even shutting down the instance if they please.

    Of course, just removing mods isn’t nice, and the mods are totally in their right to protest, stop doing their work or even leave.
