Open-source and unmoderated are 2 very different things.

Lemmy is open source so you got this already.

As for an instance without an admin, there can't be such a thing. An instance has to be hosted on some server and this server belongs to somebody that has to maintain it.

A community without a mod doesn't exist, as a community has to be founded by someone to exist.

Now, do you really want a community without an active mod ? Well if you want spam, bots and shitty content, sure.

If your problem is power tripping mods, just leave the communities with such mods.

Or you can run your own Lemmy instance and see how it goes.
