Receiving error when trying to mod someone in community (lemmy.ml)

I recently created a private instance and I'm trying to make a mod in my community but when I add their name I receive the object not found error. I'm typing in the name as @(username)@(name of my instance).com. Am I doing something wrong or is there a fix to this error?

You could try an API call: https://lemmy.readme.io/reference/post_community-mod

Otherwise try without the first @ in the name? I'm not sure how Photon expects it. Also try without your instance, just the name (with or without first @).

Another option is to spin up the Lemmy frontend on another subdomain. Lots of Lemmy instances run several front ends.
