That's an excellent question honestly you should post it. Shit I'm gunna post it I'll try to tag you on it idk if it's the lemmy apo I'm using but jerboah doesn't open up profiles when I tag ppl

Anyway that process I do not know.

However

As an instance admin having created a fuck ton of communities I think it would go like this

First you need to reach out to the current community mod.

Once contacted and if they agree to hand the community over to you you'll need to make sure you've posted in that community before or go ahead and make a test post once the mod agrees to give you the community.

REASON: lemmy functions are very limited. There's no options to just add anyone as a mod.

In order to add a Mod, that user needs to post in that community bc that's the only way to add them.

Basically, the posts have mod options on them. Idk why it's dumb honestly.

But if you don't have a post in their community they literally can't and have zero way to add you. So do that.

After that, you're a mod now. You'll have mod tools (use the voyager lemmy app, it has most if not all tools and self explanatory.)

Then you just go ahead and click their username and select 'Remove as a mod'

-Want to add a mod ?

Make sure a user has done step one, click on the three dots on a user's post in that community (mod options setting you get what I mean you'll see it) then there will be an option 'Apoint as a moderator'

Now if you want to move a community from one instance to ANOTHER INSTANCE will be more of a pain.

Because why tf would .ml be like "yea ok let me just help give you my community with all our users/activity/pists/engagement etc so i don't have a fuckin community anymore."

like yea ok they're not gunna do that lol
