The last time I checked, mods weren't supposed to be able to ban people from communities that those people never interacted in before. Did something change or is this a form of abuse/glitch/oversight? (lemmy.wtf)

I’ve been noticing this more and more in the modlogs, with it proven via the “creator” option in some instances’ modlogs that the people doing the bans were mods and not admins, and when I first joined Lemmy, one of the things that were held as a universal truth was that this absolutely could not happen.

They added it to the default interface. At least for admins, not sure about mods.

Admins have full control over the entire instance. Of course they get mod options in communities they aren't necessarily mods of on their instance.
