    When I created my account I had absolutely no idea what federated meant (I’m still not sure I really get it) so I just made an account on Lemmy World.

    But is it possible to change an account to another instance and keep the mod status on the communities I have on Lemmy World?

      I personally just privated my communities and left a link to a new community on a different instance.

      (I’m still not sure I really get it)

      It’s like email. With email, if you have a @gmail.com address you can communicate with @hotmail.com addresses.

      Well, with lemmy/mastodon/whatever they work the same way. Users don’t have to all be on the same server to interact with each other.
