For example, this channel is federated from Peertube as a Lemmy community. If you look at the community's sidebar, there appears to be no moderator for the community; is this a federation issue? I would assume that the channel owner is responsible for moderation (of comments, as posts being allowed is technically a bug), but they aren't listed.

as far as i know, most (if not all) moderation actions are not federated.

that community is local to Lemmmy, despite the content coming from somewhere else. that lemmy community would be moderated by a lemmy account.

and thats kind of the point. instances get to self-content-control. that said, remote management of your post is a thing.. so you can delete it, edit it, etc.

content creators.. 'posters', would not automatically be moderators of a community because they posted some content into it.

Lemmy to Lemmy moderator actions all federate, however it gets flaky with Lemmy to Kbin/Lemmy to Peertube/Lemmy to Mastodon (and vice versa) where each different activitypub implementation have their own unique moderation commands AFAIK.

Reports on Lemmy were not federated the last time it was brought up in a discussion, no idea if that has changed now

Everything else mentioned is 100% correct though, lemmy instances can also moderate communities that are federated to their instance, albeit only their instance users will see those changes.
