You can appoint a new mod yourself before leaving, or your own account from a different instance. But if you are the only mod when you delete the account then yes. Instance admins can still apoint someone else though.

“or your own account from a different instance“

Great to know. That should have been, but wasn’t obvious to me. Thanks

If you want you can test it yourself, there are 3 test instances separated from live ones, links in this post: https://lemmy.world/post/335015

How do you appoint new mods though? I don’t see a menu to moderate the communities I created.

It’s part of the context menu on each post/comment in the community, there’s an option to appoint them as mod

So you gotta make a post or comment before you can become a moderator
