It's seems right that we should have a local community to help us all with PieFed
Be kind! We're all learning
The user that created the community is treated differently in that they cannot be removed by the other moderators. I belive that user is referred to as the owner in the code. I haven't looked into it yet, but I think there is a way to transfer ownership of the community. If not, then there should be.
As far as I know, that is really the only difference between the owner and the other community moderators.
That's right.
Also owners manage the list of moderators - mods can't add or remove each other (although they can remove themselves).
Thanks for the info!
Would be interested in learning about this as well.
I think Lemmy is supposed to have this, but I am not sure.

That was my experience as a community-founder on Lemm.ee -- that I 'owned' the community, and that it was necessary for me to transfer ownership for that to change. Also, IIRC the owner has a couple more permissions on Lemmy than the other mods.
@[email protected], I'd suggest you could test this out by creating another acct here, assign it mod status, then compare permissions.
I am not even sure if I have senior mod status in the the community I moderate/curate/
If you're the founder of a community that runs Lemmy, then you should be automatically senior mod. If you're not sure, and as mentioned above, you could add a dummy mod acct.
