I am signed in as an admin user of my instance. A different, non-admin user has created a community on my instance. I can't edit this community's details. If I create a post in this community, I can't use the ... menu to assign myself moderator of this community.

What do I need to do to give myself access to edit this community?

Depends on the cultural rules tho. You can't just create any community on someone else's server and feel entitled to not have to follow their rules. There's a reason why there's a hirarchy, and the mod not being the admin. The mod can run their own server if they want and/or need to.
