Looking to transfer ownership of a community on lemmy.world between 2 accounts, both on lemmy.world. I see the option to appoint a mod, but not the option to transfer ownership. How can I go about this?

Thank you.

I figured it out. On the old account, after appointing a new mod, transfer community appears from the same menu. Note that these options appear from the extended menu while viewing a particular post made by the new mod, not from the feed of posts.

After that, leave as mod appears on the community page.
