As someone who's new to lemmy, could someone explain who is in charge of policing and moderating community names like this? With reddit it's obv Admins but who has that level of power here?
The instance owner/admins are in charge of that. They're kind of equivalent to the Reddit admins, except if you don't like the instance admins you can go to a different Lemmy instance but you can't move to a new Reddit instance. Also, community names are unique to each instance, so !support@lemmy.world and !support@lemm.ee share the same name but are two separate communities in two separate instances.

Every instance has its own admins.
