Can a user that is located on a different instance from where a community is hosted be a moderator of that community? (lemmy.world)

Iirc its possible but likely will cause issues at some point. Your best bet is to have an account on the same instance become the mod

What sort of issues?

I saw a discussion about it a few weeks back iirc it was mostly that you might become unable to access the instance if defederated or something. Might not be a big deal i guess?

There's a good argument for having an alt account as backup, but you shouldn't ever have to use it barring some exceptional circumstances
