MODERATORS

The last time I checked, mods weren't supposed to be able to ban people from communities that those people never interacted in before. Did something change or is this a form of abuse/glitch/oversight? (lemmy.wtf)

I’ve been noticing this more and more in the modlogs, with it proven via the “creator” option in some instances’ modlogs that the people doing the bans were mods and not admins, and when I first joined Lemmy, one of the things that were held as a universal truth was that this absolutely could not happen.

It might be possible with 3rd party moderation tools. Just using the web interface, you can only do mod actions from a post in your community. Like, I can't ban someone from FoodPorn from a post they made in, say, PoliticalMemes. I don't have any mod options when viewing communities I am not a moderator for on my app (Connect) or the web interface for Lemmy. World or Pawb.Social, but I have seen a few mentions of more robust mod tools in other apps.

My two questions then are 1) is this even allowed, and 2) if it is, how do I access these tools?
