Hello. How do I apply for admin, and I created a community, so how to I appoint admins in it?

Which community is it?

To summarize

  • admins are the people that run the website (ex. lemmy.world)

  • moderators are the people that manage a particular community (ex. I am a moderator for !canada@lemmy.ca)

If you want to add someone else as a moderator for your community, you can either

  • Find a post or comment that they made in your community
  • Select the menu and look for 'Appoint as Moderator'

Thanks, but I found out it only works with comments, not posts.

In the desktop mode, after at least one post exists in the community, you can go into that post and some additional buttons will exist. Including one which allows you to invite someone to help moderate.

Could misremember...
