Hello! I was testing community ownership transfer via API and encountered an issue.

This account was previously the owner of the community https://lemmy.world/c/summittestcommunity. I transferred ownership of this community to my other test account @idunnololz_test@lemmy.ca.

What I didn't expect is that the transfer went through on lemmy.world end but it did not seem to go through on the lemmy.ca end. So now lemmy.world thinks the community is owned by @idunnololz_test@lemmy.ca and lemmy.ca thinks the community is owned by @idunnololz@lemmy.world.

Neither account can change ownership of the community.

It's been about 4 hours since I made this change so it seems unlikely this is just a delay.

If someone could help me transfer ownership back to my account that would be appreciated. Thank you!

Hi, it's transferred back.

I think Lemmy might still have some federation issues with that, it's unlikely to be specific to LW or .ca.

There is a chance it would have fixed itself after some time (24h?), I'm not sure if a mod list refresh is part of the community metadata refresh.
