It appears to only apply to my server, but it’s strange I can change stuff in a community that I don’t own. I spun up a PieFed server, federated with lemmy shitpost, and I can supposedly change members and mods.
The description seems to only apply to my instance, but I still find it weird you can view and “change” members.


Also, if your the admin I would make a normal user for everyday use. If your admin account is compromised, you would loose access to your instance
What? That really doesn’t make much sense, the admin has direct access to the server and reset the password of any account, including their own admin account and any alternate account they use.
I have 2 accounts on my instance, this account and the admin.
I use this account as my daily driver and get an email if there is a sign up request
