        GET /api/v3/community

        It’ll respond with an object of GetCommunityResponse (https://join-lemmy.org/api/interfaces/GetCommunityResponse.html)

        The moderators array will have an array of objects of which moderator is a Person type.

        The “top mod” is also the owner, and they’ll always be the first entry in the moderators array from /api/v3/community

        const comunityDetails = await fetch('https://intance.xyz/api/v3/community?community_id=12345')

// Not sure what attribute you need for the owner, but here I'm getting their actor_id (https://instance.xyz/u/username)
const owner = communityDetails.moderators[0].moderator.actor_id

          Oh great. So it preserves the order. Thanks.

            Yes, mostly.

            I’ve seen cases where TransferCommunity events aren’t federated, so the correct order is only guaranteed if you query the home instance for the community.

            (Assuming community transfer events are even supposed to federate, that is).

          You didn’t miss it. I forgot to include it, sorry.
