Lemmy newbie here, how do you add mods and bots to a community? (lemmy.world)

Can you even do that as a regular user here or is it an admin instance only thing? Any guides or links for these sorts of things? Couldn't find much about this when looking about so i'd appreciate some help here.

Bots are just regular users, but you should toggle the "I am a bot" flag on for that user account.

If you're already the mod of a community, you can add additional users (including bots) as mods. But I've only ever seen the option in the web interface.

Where exactly do you add mods within the web interface? And where do you find bots to add? I tried making a community in the web interface before, and didn't see any options to add anyone at all, must've missed it or something.

Not sure if there's a better way, but easiest I found is to open a post by the user you want to add as mod, then use the option in the dropdown menu.

For finding bots to add -- no idea.
