You can appoint a new mod yourself before leaving, or your own account from a different instance. But if you are the only mod when you delete the account then yes. Instance admins can still apoint someone else though.
“or your own account from a different instance“
Great to know. That should have been, but wasn’t obvious to me. Thanks
If you want you can test it yourself, there are 3 test instances separated from live ones, links in this post: https://lemmy.world/post/335015
How do you appoint new mods though? I don't see a menu to moderate the communities I created.
It's part of the context menu on each post/comment in the community, there's an option to appoint them as mod
So you gotta make a post or comment before you can become a moderator
Technically, there's instance admins. But I don't know.
