I use this account for normal user things, but I want to auto-post social media content in a community I’m in (!taylorswift) which I own. (The content will probably just post 0-3 times a day)....

Are moderators just purely altruistic? Or do they have an ulterior motive?

Basically title. As you can see, I see this community and can post to it fine. But some others just return a 404....

I am going on holiday in 3 days and of course my body decided a couple days ago to catch a cold…right before my long awaited holiday!!...
