You donβt need to join lemmy.world. Just a heads up.
Okay thanks that made a lot of sense in that link.
How does this affect moderation of comments? If my comment propagates to all federated instances can it be deleted by anybody?
Also how does one start a community? Do you have to have your own instance in order to launch your own community?
I think only the admins of the instance and mods of the community (and you) can delete your comment. Afaik your comment is only cached on other instances.
Reports go for admins and mods I think too https://lemmy.cloudaf.site/post/59357
Anyone can create a community. From the looks of it, sync doesnβt support it yet(?). But if you go to your instance on your browser you can create it from there on the top right settings.
