Just out of curiosity, what’s the advantage to them having their account on the same Instance as the community?

Less likely to accidentally loose access due to defederation? 🤷‍♂️

Federation shenanigans would be my guess. If you were on instance B and moderating instance A then instance B admins would have control of your account instead of instance A admins. So if for some reason instance B admins decide to ban that user then they are prevented from moderating for instance A.

Or more commonly, if your account is on instance B and instance B goes down, good luck moderating insurance A

there are bugs on moderating communities on other instances. like mode actions do not propagate to federated instances if done from a different instance.

but don’t take my word for it, i don’t have a source.

I’ve experienced issues like reports arrive late for external moderators, and post actions only work, and not comment and user actions. https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/3781

I’ll take one for the team, bang through some privileges and I’ll start moderating the shit out of this community.

I think memes also needs a couple more rules. Specifically I think the posts should be memes.

I posted a bunch in this community before it surged in June / July. I still comment moderately here, and read comment threads moderately.

Overall I’m not super active. I would just watch my regular feed and comment threads like I currently do, and if I see something uncivil, I’ll intervene. So if I am chosen, it would be ideal to have other mods as well, as I may not be enough on my own.

Rules:

  1. Be civil and nice.
