The Mod has been MIA for 5 months but that doesn't stop other people from posting, it just means there isn't anyone on duty to jolly things along a bit.
As there is no active mod, could you please update the link in the sidebar to !casualconversation@lemm.ee ? It still shows the previous version of the community on LW
I can't edit a community's information without being a Mod of that community. I was able to do this on the Photon frontend but that doesn't seem to be possible now. I'll have a ponder and see if there's a trick to it that I'm missing.
Yep, I'm a feddit.uk Admin and I was able to add an avatar and banner to !blackmagicfuckery@feddit.uk using the Photon frontend. Or I thought I did (I made a note of this at the time) but now my confidence in the sequence of events has been knocked. But if that wasn't his I did it, then I have no clue his I managed it.
I’d like to know what the behavior should be.
Well, I personally feel Admins should be able to edit the settings for communities they aren't Mods of (and I can't be made a Mod of a community because I have seniority). However, Lemmy's default is to not allow this (presumably as a holdover of the philosophy of Reddit where a sub was a Mods little fiefdom, at least until recently), so I presume that should be the behaviour of the frontends too.
