As there is no active mod, could you please update the link in the sidebar to !casualconversation@lemm.ee ? It still shows the previous version of the community on LW

I can't edit a community's information without being a Mod of that community. I was able to do this on the Photon frontend but that doesn't seem to be possible now. I'll have a ponder and see if there's a trick to it that I'm missing.

Thank you for looking into this!

that was possible in the first place?

Are you an admin or something? I'd like to know what the behavior should be.

Yep, I'm a feddit.uk Admin and I was able to add an avatar and banner to !blackmagicfuckery@feddit.uk using the Photon frontend. Or I thought I did (I made a note of this at the time) but now my confidence in the sequence of events has been knocked. But if that wasn't his I did it, then I have no clue his I managed it.

I’d like to know what the behavior should be.

Well, I personally feel Admins should be able to edit the settings for communities they aren't Mods of (and I can't be made a Mod of a community because I have seniority). However, Lemmy's default is to not allow this (presumably as a holdover of the philosophy of Reddit where a sub was a Mods little fiefdom, at least until recently), so I presume that should be the behaviour of the frontends too.
