I keep seeing communities on lemmy writing in their bio "not official" or in some way deferring to the reddit community. I also see them writing that they're willing to give up their community to the reddit mods if they ask. It's like the whole place has imposter syndrome.

We're the adults, guys.

We're here. This is our community now. We broke up with that site, and we are making a new one. Run your community the way you think it should be run. Their communities are not any more official than ours. This is our place, not theirs.

We're the adults. We're the mods. We're the community.

Sure, except i don't have time to be a proper mod (and that includes due diligence in vetting new mods) so it's easiest to just let the old reddit mods have it. I haven't started any communities but i definitely understand why people would want the reddit mods to retake control of a given community, and if i do start one i'd put that in the description as well
