I found doing a lot of my basic mod actions very difficult on the main reddit app, where Apollo makes them second nature.

No such thing. Ask away!
!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

MODERATORS
Will you be losing the ability to do any mod actions?
They're just much harder or not available on the reddit app, as opposed to 3rd party ones.
Reddit is not trying to kill third party apps, officially. Instead they're just pricing the API requests du ridiculously high that few, if any, will survive.
Consequently, nobody but the individual developers can tell you which ones are going to try and manage.
At this point I'm pretty sure the reason no mod during this whole thing has been specific about what tools they're losing is because it's probably not as big of a deal as they're trying to make it seem.
No one will give me a straight answer about what specifically the mods will no longer be able to do.
Hey. Like you, I have no idea what tools they are losing (have lost). I DO know that the mods know the tools and the mods were trying to work with the Reddit execs in order to make the transition better and more efficient. I know this because of posted texts/transcripts. I also know that Reddit has not been honest or arguing in good faith.
That's all I need to know. I don't need to know if a tool is called ice cube checker and it measures how much ice is in the cup I'm drinking, or if Ice Cube is in a new movie. It doesn't matter. What I do know tells me enough info to make my decision.
