I am signed in as an admin user of my instance. A different, non-admin user has created a community on my instance. I can't edit this community's details. If I create a post in this community, I can't use the ... menu to assign myself moderator of this community.

What do I need to do to give myself access to edit this community?

Why would you even want to be doing this?

I’m the owner and admin of the instance, and sometimes there are tidying/housekeeping tasks I need to do with user-created communities.

I know, but I’m just trying to understand why you wouldn’t allow people on your instance to handle their own shit. What is the tidying/house keeping of someone else’s community? As an admin you can already delete/purge every post everywhere. I could remove/purge this post right now.

I think you’re assuming a lot about what I’m doing here. In this case, I wanted to rename the community to move an emoji and make it more consistent with the other similar communities on our server.
