Sorry if this is the wrong community, not sure where else to post the question, and I'd rather avoid creating an issue over on Github.
Is there a way to check if a federated user is an administrator via the API? .get_person_details()
will have the admin field set to false for all other than local admins and .get_community()
only reveals the list of moderators.
I know I could scrape the admin list from the main page html, but scraping html is prone to errors if an instance uses an alternative frontend or the frontend is updated. Getting the data via the API should be a more stable solution.
Based on #3703 it seems like a decent chance that this information isn't currently exposed to federated instances though?
Remember that our CoC applies even on communities outside our instance. Try to avoid personal attacks and telling people to harm themselves per CoC 3.2 and 3.7. Continued failure to do so will lead to a temporary or permanent ban.
