Power mods are one of the main problems with reddit. The same thing is already happening with Lemmy.

This is concerning because it allows for control of what becomes popular content.

Nah, once it become possible to group communities from multiple instances into one (aka multi-reddit on reddit - needs another name on the fediverse), power mods will have no power. Someone could just create an instance with the same community name and it could end up in the community group.

That's only if they are chosen to be added. If I create a world politics sub and fill it with anime titties, I shouldn't expect to be auto added to all world politics community groups.
