Can we please get a post that explains what this community is for? Seems like nobody reads the sidebar (which is hard to access on most mobile clients) so we constantly get flooded with questions that would rather fit in !lemmy_support@lemmy.ml or !fediverse@lemmy.world

I understand that many people are still confused by how lemmy works but we should make clear that this is for general questions and discussions similar to what /r/askreddit was and not a place to ask technical questions about lemmy.

Okay, I just noticed that such a post already exists but for some reasons, the pinned state doesn't federate correctly. On lemmy.ml it's pinned to the top, on my personal instance the post has a pin icon but appears way down.

Same on mine, pinned posts tend to be tricky for federation it seems. Hopefully fixed in a future Lemmy version

Moderation removal also isn't federating correctly, there are two open issues on GitHub:

Removal not federating: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/3535
Pinning not federating: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/3544
