Moderation actions
On Lemmy a moderator is someone who manages and has rights over a community.
The community creator is this first moderator of a community since he created it.
An administrator has full rights on the entire server, and thus also in each community.

To take a moderation action on a user, you need a post from that user and click on the 3 dots at the bottom right of the title.
To undo an action previously taken on a user, the same process must be followed. As an example, if a post is locked, click on the lock icon again to unlock it.
