The lemmy-js-client docs have the HTTP Enpoints somewhere in there and if you click on “form” for a specific endpoint, it shows you the parameters.

Bigger problem is that nothing has any description, but all in all the docs are quite bad, even if complete.

Yeah, you just toot at the community (with a little bit of special form)

I had known Mastodon for quite some time but never used it until lots of people came over there from Twitter (which I had never used) and then I set up my own instance.

And now I’ve also set up my own Lemmy instance, I am still using Reddit aswell, but I hope Lemmy gets enough activity for it to be actually useful (seems to be on a good path).

(Yes, I don’t mix Mastodon and Lemmy, because Lemmy just works so different from most other ActivityPub software, it would just confuse me.)

Also I have used Matrix for quite a long time now.

I cannot think of any other way than manually in the database.

The instance admin of the instance where the community is hosted has the power to change the moderators, so just reach out to them. As many others have commented here, some instances may already have procedures in place for that.

Fun stuff, I also had a problem with mine, for me it was that I did not correctly configure my reverse proxy so that POST requests were not routed to the backend but just timed out, as soon as I fixed that everything worked perfectly.

Well yes, technically you can, but the two function very differently, I prefer having them seperate.

I run both my own Mastodon (social.jstsmthrgk.eu) and my own Lemmy (lemmy.jstsmthrgk.eu).

They are listed on the instances page underneath the connected instances.

Mastodon is quite nice to host, even has a “single user instance” setting, also it has lots of users.
